Collaboration Skills for Supportive Peers

Team Roles

Define clear roles for each group member to avoid overlap. Rotate responsibilities to build diverse skills. Document role expectations to maintain accountability.

Active Listening

Practice listening without interrupting to understand peers fully. Paraphrase key points to confirm understanding. Use questions to clarify ambiguous ideas.

Conflict Resolution

Address disagreements early with calm and specific language. Focus on interests rather than positions to find solutions. Agree on next steps and follow up to ensure resolution.

Group Planning

Set shared goals and timelines at the start of a project. Break tasks into assigned deliverables with deadlines. Use a shared document to track progress and updates.
