1
Connection: We help everyone feel welcome, included and valued for who they are.
DISCUSS: When have you seen this shared agreement in action?
How can this agreement happen more often?
2
One speaker, one voice: We listen actively when others are talking. We understand and avoid the ripple effect.
DISCUSS: What are new ways that we can keep each other accountable for this norm?
3
Collaboration and Respect: We respect others and their opinions. We have calm bodies when people are speaking, respect boundaries and are mindful of others.
DISCUSS: Where do you collaborate well and show respect to others?
What does that space have in common with school?
4
Mindful Noise Level: We keep the classroom environment quiet and calm. We balance being not too quiet and not too loud.
DISCUSS: When do we do this well? What can we add to help us be mindful of this agreement and help us improve?
5
Outdoor Exploration: We'll enjoy outdoor learning and have fun while following the rules and staying safe.
DISCUSS: What are ways that teachers can incorporate this norm into everyday learning?
