Education homework help.
(1) Small Groups
Complete the reading for Week 1 and respond to the following:
Teach the class: In your own words, based on the required reading and a scholarly source that you select, define the concept of secondary small group and explain how this concept differs from small group and primary group.
Then, think of any secondary small group (or a group with both primary and secondary characteristics) to which you have belonged in the past or to which you belong now. Briefly describe this group to the class. Then explain the small group throughput processes of your chosen group. If communication is the heart of this transformational process, how would you describe the quality of communication in your chosen group, and what would like to see improve?
Your main post should consist of approximately 350 words.
(2) Verbal and Nonverbal Communication in Groups
Teach the Class: Read the required material from the Adams and Galanes text and conduct independent research (of quality videos, credible Internet resources, and/or scholarly journal articles) to find three sources pertaining to nonverbal communication. Examine these materials and educate your classmates on the functions, challenges, and/or bonuses of using nonverbal communication and behaviors to read people.
· Cite and reference your three resources in APA style, 6th ed.
· Be sure to cite and reference the required text if your work contains any thought, idea, or quote from the book.
· If you elected to also post graphics to add visual interest, then cite and reference the graphics in APA style as well.
Address the foll e1`owing questions, supporting your thinking with reference to your sources and by presenting examples.
· What have you learned about cultural variance in nonverbal communications?
· What have you learned about the categories of nonverbal behaviors?
Your main post should consist of approximately 350 words.
(3) Phase Models in Group Development
Teach the class: Reflect on a time that you were part of a relatively small group, and with reference to this experience, explain Tuckman’s Model of Group Development stages to the class. Walk your classmates through the forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning stages of this model in relation to the group-development experience that is the basis of your reflection. If for some reason your group did not make it to the performing or adjourning stages (for example), then explain your hypotheses as to why the group did not make it this far. Be specific with the description of each stage. Include an additional relevant scholarly source to enhance your work and the learning of your peers in class.
Your main post should consist of approximately 350 words.
(4) Group Conflict Management
Pay particular attention to the conflict-management styles that are listed and discussed in your text this week. Also, find at least one source that describes how to work with conflict-management styles. Consider your conflict-management style and an example of when you have exercised this style. Your conflict-management style and example will be the basis of the presentation that is the deliverable for your initial post to this discussion forum.
Research working with conflict-management styles and locate a source that describes ways to work with your respective conflict-management style or another management style.
In a PowerPoint presentation of 4-6 slides:
· Identify and briefly describe your personal conflict-management style.
· Explain how to work with the selected conflict-management style mentioned above.
· Describe your example regarding the exercise of the style you selected.
· Include an audio dialogue (role-play) of a manager exercising an effective conflict-management style with co-workers, friends, or family in a simulated conflict. This audio should be 1-3 minutes in length and should be presented with commentary.

· Provide one or more resources that will help your peers continue to grow as facilitators of small and/or large groups.
