As I learned in module 6, teamwork is about working together of the member to complete the tasks and achieve the desire goal. While reading this, it comes in my mind that being a teacher someday, I will meet different teachers inside the campus and in faculty room as well. With this, I will consider my co-teachers that we are a team because it is important to us to be in the same side in doing our duties. Being a team inside the faculty is important to have good communication and culturally diverse as we teach in our class. Helping each other in the faculty room may result have a good quality of education in a certain campus where we are teaching.
Additionally, as I observed in the school, the teachers that act as one team are happier, less stress, no hatred and no competition; they are doing only their task, helping each other and respect everyone’s thoughts. I also noticed that in terms of conducting/joining in the program, even they are not good in designing the stage, in dancing or any other activities, still they successfully did it because of teamwork and determination. Most of the time, the result became better than expected because of the combined ideas, helping hands, and in trust and support they gave to each other.
Moreover, I think becoming a team in the workplace is the best thing we can do because teamwork can result to have great productivity and achieve the mission and vision of the school. Through showing teamwork, I think it can be an example for the students to do the same to avoid competitiveness and selfishness. Being a team can reduce stress because of collaboration, brainstorming and doing the assigned task having a trust to each other. I can say that we need to act as team to show that we are united in giving services, facing challenges, adapting new strategies and in teaching the youth. Similarly, if we are a team, during the conflict happen, it is easy to resolve because both sides are willing to listen in the explanation of each other side and whatever be the decision, they should respect it without hatred or take as personal issue.
Lastly, in this module, I think that the quotation “Coming together is beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success” by Henry Ford can be inserted because it shows teamwork which lead to success of everyone in a team and the team itself.
