Assignment 1:
Assessing Group Process 4: Group Project Goals
As a clinical social worker, evaluating the effectiveness of clinical strategies is an expectation of the NASW Code of Ethics (2017). Sometimes, clinical strategies and techniques that are effective in one setting may not work in another situation. It is important to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Also, self-assessment is an integral part of becoming a clinical social worker.
Make sure each question is outlines with the questions below, with their own references and in-text citations, and in their own separate sections in the order below.:
· Describe the strategy (assigned in Week 7) you implemented in your Group Project (in attachments).
· Describe the process and the level of difficulty/comfort you found in doing this Assignment. (Assignment was hard due to team members being really busy and having time to communicate on the project)
· Explain how this strategy may or may not have empowered or supported the group.
· Describe the progress of the group in completing the project/goal. (Group came together at the end was able to bring all their drafts into a compilation for edit and have a finished project. (Final Project is in attachments)
· At this point, the literature review and the advantages and disadvantages should be complete.
Group Process Assignments should integrate course concepts related to group process. Assignments should demonstrate critical thought when applying course material to your group experience. Support ideas in your Assignment with APA citations from this week's required resource (in attachments).
Required Resource (In attachments). Every other reference should be from 2013-2019.

Discussion Conflict with Teams

Discussion 1:
Think of a conflict that occurred in a team you were a part of and analyze it. What were the main sources of the conflict? What interventions can be used to improve the quality of conflict a team?
Conflict can emerge from the unlikeliest of sources that we may not be able to always plan for. Despite our best intentions and planning, we may end up facing situation that involve some form of conflict (Corkindale, 2007). I have been part of teams which faced a lot of internal conflict. One such instance was in one of my initial jobs where I did not get along with one of my supervisors. She had a reputation as a very difficult person to work with. Most people who reported to her took the path of least resistance and avoided conflict by just accepting whatever was suggested to them irrespective of if it was the right thing to do. I could not do that and stood up to her and voiced my opinions about what the right course of action would be in every scenario. This led to some conflict because she was not used to that kind of a style of working. I was very proud of the way I acted and would do the same again without a second thought.
In many cases, conflicts can be avoided as long as the team dynamic is positive and the team is focused on the end result as opposed to just one upping other team members. Team members need to be encouraged to be accepting of others and work in a cohesive manner so that the team can succeed as a group in addition to each member being able to succeed on an individual basis. Open communication and transparency within a team helps to reduce the opportunity for conflicts to arise.
Evaluate yourself using the three indices of creativity. What strategies can you use to enhance your creativity?
The three key indices of creativity as defined by the Martin prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management include: Talent, Technology and Tolerance (Rotman School of Mangement at the University of Toronto, 2012).
Talent
: Evaluating oneself for talent needs a high level of self-awareness. I don’t believe I am naturally very talented. I try to make up for this by working hard and always looking to improve my knowledge and skills with respect to the task at hand.

We go through four steps.
1: Increasing Awareness of Group Dynamics.
2: Provide the language to talk about Group Dynamics, gaining consensus regards what action would be helpful to do next.
3: Develop the plan of how to go about making the changes a reality.
4: Validate by testing the plan against the context it is operating within.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
