6. Building a Supportive Group

Climate

A positive group climate encourages inclusivity:
Team-Building Activities: Use icebreakers or
trust-building exercises to strengthen
relationships.
Celebrating Diversity: Encourage students to
share cultural traditions or unique
perspectives.
Fostering Empathy: Integrate activities that
promote understanding of others’ challenges
and strengths.
Example: During group discussions, allocate time
for members to share personal experiences
related to the project topic.

7. Scaffolding Inclusive Practices

Teachers can guide students to adopt inclusive

practices:
Model Inclusivity: Demonstrate respectful
communication and equitable decision-
making.
Provide Checklists: Offer tools to help
groups self-assess inclusivity (e.g., “Did
everyone have a chance to contribute?”).
Regular Feedback: Monitor group dynamics
and provide constructive feedback.

8. Assessing Inclusive Group Work

Assessment should reflect both individual and
group contributions:
Rubrics for Collaboration: Include criteria for
participation, respect, and equity.
Self and Peer Evaluations: Allow students to
reflect on their roles and the group’s
inclusivity.
Process Over Product: Recognize the value
of the collaborative process, not just the final
outcome.
