success, where a team cannot experience overall success unless each individualmember on the team experiences success. We expand upon this concept by making explicit therelationship between facilitating individual success and valuing each team member, where astudent can experience more success when s/he is valued. Arguably, creating opportunities forstudents to engage in robust teamwork can be facilitated when educators increase students’awareness about the benefits of valuing all team members, a construct that is often implied butnot explicitly discussed in teamwork literature.Creating an environment free of discrimination and bias is the second construct we address in theInclusive Behaviors scale.
