Adjourning

I have participated in many group meetings and projects; and we processed through them pretty much according to the stages of team development. The adjourning process mainly consisted of lingering goodbyes and God bless you’s. On certain occasions the group leader of the youth ministry completes the adjourning process with refreshments and a heads up on the next event or program. Until now I had not thought about the adjourning process here at WU. There are several colleagues I would like to stay in contact with and possibly visit someday. Adjourning is essential to teamwork because of the many variables that can form from teamwork outcomes and you never know when you might need someone’s expert opinion on something concerning the early childhood field. I personally hope to hear from everyone occasionally in the future.
