Chenjun's most recent reflection achievement
This week in Play, the
Polis Prize is up for grabs, but that's not all that's on the line.
The bigger question is about team cohesion, especially when the stakes are high. What makes effective teams . . . effective? How do you respond under stress?

Synthesis Mission Brief
for more details.

You¡¯ve been around Synthesis Teams long enough to know that good
communication means more than just talking to your teammates.
It¡¯s about being thoughtful in the
way we communicate: using
teammates¡¯ names, being clear and specific, and asking clarifying
questions. It¡¯s about speaking up
and responding to others.
This month, we¡¯ll take a closer look at these important aspects of
teamwork as we examine your
productive communication skills.
Chenjun, here's what we observed about your teamwork skills during the session: One thing you did especially well was using direct language, as seen when you communicated clearly with statements like, "Give it to me," and "You did it! You did it!" celebrating your teammates' successes. This kind of affirmation really helps boost team morale and shows that you are an encouraging teammate. Another great thing is your enthusiasm, showing your willingness to rally the team. A next step could be to focus on making your communication more specific and relating it directly to the task at hand. Why is this important? Making your messages more precise can really help your team understand what needs to be done, create better strategies, and make sure everyone is on the same page. Keep it up, and try practicing this focus on detail¡ªyour team will appreciate it!
Observations based on your participation in Play sessions in 3 of the past 4 weeks.
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
"Governance of Thebes." We brought Polis into the ¡°polis,¡± as students examined tough, hypothetical choices for ancient Thebes: health or education, local control or city-wide plans. Students had to wrestle with big questions about fairness and responsibility ¡ª just like real leaders do.
No right or wrong answers. Just interesting conversations with kids from around the world.
Communication in Discussions Sessions

Reflection for Chenjun: Does the communication in your team room show that everyone has an opportunity to speak?
We¡¯re glad you were able to attend a Discussion session last week! We appreciate how you listened to your teammates¡¯ perspectives. Active listening is an important¨Cand sometimes undervalued!--part of good communication skills.
To take those skills to the next level, consider sharing your point of view a bit more proactively next time. If you¡¯re not sure how you feel about a topic, try asking a teammate a follow-up question or volunteering to read some of the slides aloud for the group. Your insights are valuable, and we look forward to learning more about your unique communication style in a future session.
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.
