You can set up the room with seats in clusters to facilitate this process. Students assume personal responsibility. Invite students to report back to their group or to another group after each session. Give clear guidelines on paper for each person's role and go over them, so that students understand the criteria for his or her role. Change roles regularly, so that students can learn to assume responsibility in a variety of areas.

Some students are better than others at interpersonal exchanges. You may wish to provide those who are weaker in relating to others with practice opportunities to engage in social contacts. This can be as simple as teaching others a favorite subject or joining a teammate for a special class duty. Members reflect in order to improve group effectiveness. Students can be given a list of questions to consider, such as the conflict-resolution inventory presented in an earlier section.
