Establish Norms        


        Norms determine the way in which groups solve problems,

        make decisions and do their work. They influence interactions

        between members and set parameters of acceptable behaviors.


         The groups need “rules” to help them work together to not

         only deal with difficult issues in an objective and consistent

         way, but also to confirm what each member will do in the

         class to make the team succeed.



         Your group norms should be your own. Work collaboratively

         to set the norms that will help your group function in a

         professional manner.  Consider the following: 

              
             Participation

                How will we encourage everyone’s participation?



            Confidentiality

                What is considered confidential?


                What can be shared with other students in this class?

                What can be shared with students not in this class? 


            Decision Making

                How will decisions be made?

                How will we deal with conflicts when making decisions?



            Listening

                How will we encourage listening?

                How will we discourage interrupting?


           Meeting Time

                What is the procedure for starting class?


                What is the procedure for ending class?


                How much time should be allotted at the end of class to wrap up discussion


                    and have the necessary files uploaded to Dropbox before class ends?




Upload your Learning Pod Norms to the HE2 Dropbox Folder before the end of the hour today.
