Teaching Group Work Online and in Hybrid Models

Materials Compiled by the IASWG Mutual Aid Groups for Members Teaching Group Work Online

Since July, 2020 approximately 30 IASWG members from around the world have been meeting to share challenges and ideas about teaching group work in online settings.  Part of this initiative’s mission is to share resources with those trying to better use the online environment to teach group work. Members have collected materials in this IASWG Mutual Aid Group Teaching Online Google Drive Folder to share with everyone. The materials are organized into sub-folders by topic.  Please contact Ann Bergart ([email protected]) with any questions about the IASWG Mutual Aid Groups and the Google Drive Content.

Teaching Materials from IASWG Members

Our IASWG Website has a number of excellent resources that can be valuable while teaching remotely, as well as under many other circumstances, including:

  • Practicing Group Work Strategies: Focusing primarily on group facilitation in a range of practice settings, these tips and strategies can be used in the classroom as both content and as guides for applying group work knowledge as educators working with classes.
  • The IASWG Case-Based, Multi-Media Resource Project: This web resource currently includes three extensive case studies (Hoarding Group, Somali Boys Group & Bereavement Group), contributed by members as part of an IASWG Project. Each case can be downloaded separately as a Word Doc.  The cases can be used Asynchronously with discussion questions (with or without the workers' commentary at the end), and also could be discussed Synchronously following online discussion forums.
