A well-functioning group is a trusting group. This skill station asks students to identify trustworthy behaviors and provides the opportunity to practice them during class.


Trust is risky business.  Trust in your group can result in great rewards (better grades, increased understanding, greater enjoyment).  Trustworthy people are competent and principled.  Trust can also be broken through untrustworthy acts.  In order for your group to succeed you need to trust others but also be worthy of other’s trust. 

 

Fill in the table with behaviors you use when you trust someone [Trusting] and other behaviors that increase other’s trust in you [Trustworthy].
