The purpose of this workshop is to describe and discuss how to effectively implement teamwork process skills in collaborative field, laboratory, and/or classroom groups. Teamwork is considered an essential learning and workforce skill that capitalizes on the strengths and expertise of others to address complex scientific problems. According to the vision and change policy supporting the future of undergraduate geoscience education, students "must learn to be a leader and a follower, to listen and share, and to work with people who have different opinions and approaches". However, in many geoscience courses, teamwork is thought of as one of the "soft skills" which students learn alongside content knowledge. This workshop aims to provide participants with an understanding of team science, associated process skills, and creating and implementing modules around teamwork skills.

We will engage in activities that will help participants gain understanding of teamwork process skills as a teaching and learning tool including (1) variety of case scenarios for participants to work together and experience how roles structure teamwork, making it easier to guide students in assigning and rotating roles, (2) work in groups to choose a topic from their own subject area and outline a short teamwork-based learning activity, and (3) reflect on what went well and critical challenges of teamwork implementation and assessment. Participants will leave the workshop with tangible and actionable ways to adopt and adapt the teamwork process skills modules and resources, and ways to connect with the community beyond the workshop.
