Monthly Feedback Report for Martin


TEAMWORK METRICS

On your journey to make any team you join better, you¡¯ll practice excellent behaviors that enhance your teamwork.

The Synthesis Mission Brief explains your teamwork challenge for this week: fighting against entropy. You'll play against the Supercomputer in Batteries Not Included, and all planets will have to unite to reach the goal of 537 victories. It will take effort and energy to resist the tendency to dissolve into chaos when things get tough. What will you do to keep your cool when the pressure rises?

TEAMWORK ANALYSIS

Martin, here are some observations about your participation and communication during Play: You¡¯ve shown a strong involvement in your sessions, often stepping up with strategies and insights like, ¡°I'm just going to be on defense,¡± and "We need at least two defenders." Your enthusiasm and willingness to take on different roles, whether it's on defense or suggesting ideas like, "I have an idea. We can advertise the Blue Jays on high-tech buses," are great examples of how you engage with the game actively. You may want to balance taking charge with encouraging your teammates to share their ideas as well, enhancing your role as a collaborative team player. Consider asking your teammates for their thoughts on strategies to ensure everyone's voice is heard. Your communication is often clear and motivating. You provide updates and instructions such as, ¡°Keep calm,¡± and ¡°Pass it here! There are two people blocking me!¡± This helps keep your team informed and focused. It's also great to see you appreciating your teammates, like when you said, ¡°[Teammate], the master of prediction has done it again!¡± To continue growing, try to keep your focus more on the game and less on off-topic comments, which can sometimes be distracting. A useful strategy could be to consistently link your remarks directly to the game objectives, which will help your teammates stay engaged and aligned with the goal.

COMMUNICATION METRICS

On your journey to make any team you join better, you¡¯ll practice how to effectively communicate with everyone. Our Discussion sessions are carefully designed to provide opportunities for you to practice these critical communication skills in various ways.

Last week's theme was "Needs or Wants?" Considering the differences between 'needs' and 'wants' can help us make smarter decisions. The scenarios this week are fictional, as always. But the concept is as real as it gets.

No right or wrong answers; just interesting conversations with kids from around the world.

COMMUNICATION ANALYSIS

Productive communication and effective teamwork go hand in hand. Because you were unable to attend a Discussion session last week, we can¡¯t provide a current analysis of your strengths and areas for growth in your communication skills, including active listening and clarity of expression. To ensure our feedback is timely and relevant, we focus on your most recent conversations during Discussions. Feedback on conversations you had two or three weeks ago may not be as effective in helping you grow. In Discussion sessions, you¡¯ll learn how to craft an educated opinion and express it civilly to peers from around the globe. We encourage you to attend upcoming sessions so we can help you develop your communication skills further. This week¡¯s theme is ¡°Centralized & Decentralized Systems.¡± On a team, who should make decisions? One person, or the whole group? Both types of systems have strengths and weaknesses. This week, you¡¯ll explore different types of organizations, from sports teams to cities to families, and discuss whether it would be more efficient, more creative, and even more happy under a centralized or decentralized system. We hope you can join the conversation!



Anyone who¡¯s on the path toward becoming a Supercollaborator is able to keep improving their skills and making course corrections. We look forward to seeing you at future Play + Discussion sessions, and we¡¯ll continue giving you feedback on your teamwork and communication skills.
