The adjourning stage makes me think of my colleagues at
the end of a school year and my graduate school colleagues at the end of a
course. In both groups expectations are established and we should be high in
performance. The groups that have clearly established norms would be the
hardest to leave because the expectations are known and goals have been voiced.
When we end a school year we go out to eat and enjoy each
other we talk about individual plans we may have during our vacation. My
colleagues in graduate school we end up by thanking each other for be
supportive with comments they have provided during the course and wish them the
best on their educational journey. My hopes are to wish everyone future success
on their educational journey and for them to be prosperous and obtain all the
goals they set.
The adjourning stage is where we evaluate what happens
and capture lessons learned. This will provide an opportunity to say goodbye to
each other and wish each other luck on future endeavors (Abudi, 2010).

Hi Ebony, it is nice that you go out to dinner with your colleagues at the end of a school year, that sounds like a really nice way to adjourn for the summer! It is always nice at the end of a course in this program when we wish each other well and express gratitude for the comments and help throughout the course. I hope that when we have completed this program that we will have several resource persons that we keep in contact with. We have learned so much from each other, it would be nice to continue that even after our studies are over. Delores
