Abstract

The purposes for this study range from the professional to the personal. We are university instructors who teach undergraduate and graduate courses about classroom processes, group development and facilitation, educational psychology, and change processes to pre-service teachers or individuals who use groups as vehicles for classroom, personal, community, or organizational learning and transformation. We are interested in how individuals in groups can co-develop expertise in practice. We are also committed to creating social environments in which individuals can learn, release their creativity, and become competent. Sometimes we are successful in this undertaking, and sometimes we are not. We would like to better elucidate and understand the powerful elements of this process, so we can implement them mindfully in the future.
