The Fires of Group Work : Successful Passage

By Gloria Crook, Ph. D.

Everywhere  today  there  are  groups  of  people  forming  to accomplish some particular aim or other. In every case, certain laws of group endeavor begin to take their toll on the group’s ability to function. This process will continue until the group expires without fulfilling its work, or until it achieves its goals.

...

A group of volunteers Founded and Staffed The Robert Muller School in Arlington, TX, for sixteen years, beginning in 1979. The School became fully accredited from birth through high-school as an alternative to public education. It was the first School to implement Robert  Muller’s  world  renowned World  Core  Curriculum.  In observing the process of this long experiment, a pattern of specific group “tests” or, what came to be called “Fires” became apparent. Recognition of these Fires can be useful for any group attempting to set in motion activity to achieve a specific goal of service.
