In their teams,students discuss their lowest and highest scores for each dimension and record action steps formaking improvements (see Appendix B for an example). Depending on the size of the class,instructors may ask teams to share some of their unique challenges and solutions with the rest ofthe class after each breakout session. Alternatively, some instructors choose to have teamscomplete the action plan outside of class time and use it as a graded component in the course.Finally, some instructors offer the Team CARE assessment at more than one time point, and thisallows them

Those who attended only a few sessions (one to three) had a 66.92 ±0.07 % likelihood of passing the class. Students with regular session attendance (four or moresessions) had a fairly substantial increased likelihood of passing the course, 77.41 ± 0.09 %.This difference is statistically significant with a p value of less than 0.0001.
