• Introduction
• Personal
• DOS –Dean of Students Office
• Values Awareness for Group- USA Hockey Team
• Group Reflection
• Ask the following question that are on a beach ball thrown around the group:
• What are your strengths while working in a group?
• What are your weaknesses while working in a group?
• What is something that you value within a group?
• What do you want to get out being a part of this group?
• How is your group viewed on campus and in the larger community?
• Values Clarification within a group

                      A.  Puzzle activity and discussion

• Write down the thing that you value the most while working in a group.
• Example: I value a good leader because it leads to team unity.
• Puzzle activity discussion
• What did we assemble?
• Why is this a significant representation (or is it?)?
• What do the differing or similar values mean to you?
           Why are some of the values the same or different while being in a group?                                                                      

• If you had to put all of these into one statement to represent the entire group’s values, what would it say?

• Team Charter:
• Serves as a contract between the team and the sponsor
• Defines objectives and intent of the team - assures a common objective among team members
              Defines the work effort and its intended results to the rest of the               program                 

• Keeps the team focused - allows the team to determine if its activity is relevant and on-track or off on a tangent.
• Defines boundary conditions and helps the team determine when to raise an issue
• Helps control scope of team's efforts and re-negotiate its objectives or boundary condition
• Group Scruples
• Scruples cards are passed around (groups of 3-4 people) with a group situation and a possible action that can be taken. There is no right answer. The reasoning is important.
• Members of the group explain how they view the situation
• Ask the questions:
• Do values change depending on the group?
• Is it more likely that an individual group member will not go with the rest of the group or is there usually conformity?
• Is it easy to go against the grain of the group? Would you?

• Pick three lines and ask the members of the group how it applies to them.
• If you were to replace the word “I” with “we”, would this still hold true for your group?  Does everyone feel that the group represents this as a whole at UNCW?  Why or why not?
• Motto of the school: Discere Aude. Explain the colors of UNCW (Yellow: Sand, Teal: Ocean, Blue: Deep Ocean). How do you make waves?
