Description: The Team Coaches explored the RRU Teamwork Skills and Competencies Framework to better understand the three C’s of teamwork: coordination, cooperation and collaboration.
Team coaching is a service provided to support students to navigate their team-based learning experiences at Royal Roads. Team coaches are integrated in various programs and provide workshops, team facilitation, and one-on-one student coaching to support teamwork.
Team-based learning is an integral part of the Learning, Teaching, and Research Model, which highlights that learning occurs when we interact with others. This is purposefully emphasized through teamwork requirements that students engage in throughout their program. Academic teamwork can be challenging, requiring students to use skills they may have never used before. To clearly articulate these skills, in 2022, Team Coaching designed the RRU Teamwork Competencies and Skills Framework which is the foundation of our support service.
