Team Work

• Stage 1: Forming- I joined this group called early childhood development some 23 years ago. I have met some of the most wonderful people with the common goal of what is best for children. I have worked on many projects and hope to continue to work on more.
• Stage 2: Storming- I have shared my ideas learned new ideas and to problem solve with and from others. I accepted my responsibilities in each different role. In hopes of being successful in this group.
• Stage 3: Norming- This is the time that working as a group has been a natural where we have learned to trust each other and work for the common goal. This is where we have seen progress in our efforts.
• Stage 4: Performing-Over my many years of working in this group I have had the opportunity to on many projects this shows by the team working as a well- oiled machine.
• Stage 5: Adjourning- I feel that retirement will be my adjourning time with this group. Over the years I have had the great fortune of celebrating many victories while continuing to work through many challenges.
• Working in my most recent group of early childhood professionals has been the with the wonderful group through Walden University. I have formed new relationships shared experiences and worked towards a common goal to teach in the field of early childhood. I feel at this point that there is not a "good-bye" it is a "until we meet again".
