“Getting individuals into the room physically,

together…”
Groups At Work by Lipton and Wellman
Focus Activity:
A-Z Listing
Purpose:
A-Z Listing uses the convention of
the alphabet to focus the
conversation and organize the
important ideas or concepts…
Intention:
Quick idea generator to jumpstart
thinking and idea development.
Explore Activity:
Meaningful group work relies on the engaged
minds and hearts of all members. Strategies for
including all voices, listening to others and being
listened to by others develop mutual respect and
balance a willingness to entertain new ideas with
the passion for expression one’s own.
Lipton and Wellman
Groups at Work: Strategies and Structures for Professional Learning (2011)
Explore Activity:
Compass Points
East - Excited.
– What excites you about this idea of proposition?
West - Worrisome.
– What do you find worrisome about this idea?
North - Need to Know.
– What else do you need to know or find out about this
idea?
South - Stance, Steps or Suggestions for Moving
Forward.
– What is your current stand on the idea or proposition?
What steps might you take to increase your understanding
of the issue?
Explore Activity:
Compass Points
• Place your responses on the chart paper
labeled East, West, North and South
• Go on Gallery Walk and view the responses
• Choose one of the four directions that you
wish to park at and discuss
• No more than 4-5 per direction
Reflection:
Head nods and smiles during a session don’t
always indicate understanding, agreement and
readiness for action... Group members need an
opportunity to express what they are taking
away, how they will use new information and
what they will do next. These personal and
collective summaries increase transfer and
application.
Laura Lipton and Bruce Wellman Groups at Work (2011)
Reflection:

Application
There is often a high distraction factor at the
end of the meeting. People mentally and
emotionally start to leave the room. Overpacked agendas squeeze out summarizing and
synthesizing. Planning the flow of meetings or
work time is critical. This culminating
connection-making creates a bridge between
what happens in the meeting and what happens
in practice.
