consider your opinion of homework

Answer the following questions

1. How can you use this information in your role as a group leader in future groups?
2. We know that collaboration and providing a rationale is important for group members to believe that the assignment is relevant to their work. How will you work collaboratively to make assignments that group members can carry out in their daily life?

Now it is time for you to apply what you have seen and heard to a scenario.

Gary and Sue have come to the group to improve their ability to be assertive. They feel that they are too passive in the interactions that they have outside of the group. They often agree to do things that they really wish they could say no to.

You as the leader want to make sure that Gary and Sue achieve that goal.

1. First, we need to make sure that Gary and Sue have a measurable, realistic goal to work toward. Discuss a goal for them that will help them to monitor their progress toward being assertive.
2. You believe that homework will help Gary and Sue. What homework would you give them for the week to help them improve their assertiveness? Please explain the homework.
