Team-Based Learning is a process for teaching and developing people in the workplace. It is a set of developmental principles and routines embedded into the day-to-day processes of a work team such that team members continuously learn and develop. The developmental activities are not new, e.g., [[coaching]], stretch assignments, [[review of lessons learned]]. However, such developmental activities are typically conducted in an irregular and inconsistent way. The benefit of Team-Based Learning is that everyone on the team participates in the developmental activities on a consistent basis, because the activities provide other benefits that motivate the team to use them. That is, the team not only develops its people but also functions better.

Line 11:

=== Routines ===

'''''Problem-Based Learning''''' - Use problems encountered in the course of work as the context for learning

'''''Point of the Wedge''''' - Push responsibility combined with support to the most junior person possible

'''''Socratic Method''''' - Use inquiry to teach rather than just give the answer or solve the issue

'''''Owning the Client or Project''''' – Individuals have a heightened sense of accountability and motivation because they have their own client or project with support from more experienced team members

=== Principles ===

'''''Rounds''''' - Meeting where a less-experienced team member presents an issue or challenge and recommends a course of action

'''''Team Workshops''''' - A team member leads a developmental event for other members focusing on a specific technical or service topic

'''''Shadowing''''' – Less-experienced team member accompanies a more-experienced member to a meeting he or she would not normally attend

'''''Observation & Feedback''''' - A specific activity is observed, and using the Socratic Method, coaching is given

'''''Lessons Learned Forums''''' - Thorough review and discussion using mistakes and successes as a situation to learn from. This is similar to an [[After Action Review]].
