Critique of Group Leadership
These critiques are intended to increase your awareness of the demands and responsibilities of group leaders, promote your awareness of group process, and evaluate your beginning group leadership skills.
They are self-evaluations that will help focus your attention on your strengths and weaknesses. You will be graded on the quality of the written critiques, not on the quality of your group leadership skills.
| Each critique must have the following sections: |
| 1. primary goals and objectives for the session |
| 2. agenda for the session |
| 3. the method or process you used to achieve the goals and objectives |
| 4. interpersonal skills you used |
| 5. a self-evaluation of your group leadership strengths and weaknesses |
| 6. a summary of what transpired in the session |
| 7. resistances you observed |
| 8. feelings expressed by group members |
| 9. communication patterns |
Critiques are to be typed in APA format and submitted one week after you lead a session. As the instructor, I am to be considered a member of the group as far as confidentiality is concerned.
Try to be open and objective when writing your critique. You will be graded on the level and extent to which the critique meets the stated guidelines, not on how good you were as a group leader. You are expected to make mistakes at this point as you are learning how to use group leadership skills and become aware of group process.
