Abstract

This article describes and analyzes Tuckman's model of the stages of group development, which evolved from a four-phase to a five-phase scheme. The genesis and evolution of the model and its main assumptions and concepts are discussed. The authors present an innovative application of Tuckman's model where faculty members at two different schools of social work employed it as they strived as a group to implement a joint Master of Social Work Program across two different campuses. This application can apply to the tasks of faculty members who frequently implement their internal work or across-systems activities in groups. © 2014 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
