Group Roles: Spot them, Shape them, Boost Learning
Monika Rudnicka
Summary
Discover how the social roles students naturally adopt can turn an ordinary class into a supportive, high-energy team. In this streamlined session you’ll get a fast, teacher-friendly map of key role frameworks (Johnson & Johnson, Benne-Sheats, Belbin) to recognise helpful and disruptive behaviours in seconds; learn practical ways to amplify positive roles like expert, norm keeper and idea generator while calmly redirecting negative ones such as destructive leader or outsider; take away a one-page checklist and ready-made prompts that let you diagnose roles during the very next lesson and foster a cooperative atmosphere.
