What are norms? (not normal)

Norms are:

A standard or a principle of right action binding upon the members of a group and serving to guide, control, or regulate proper and acceptable behavior.  It governs conduct in a social situation – like this class and in group settings.  Example:  Be engaged, don’t speak out (wait your turn – share air time), assume good intent.​

Why do we need norms?

To help control the chaos – I want to hear what you each have to say and I want you to be able to hear me and each other.  I will listen to you with an open mind and I want you to do the same.  We all have opinions and ideas and want to be heard – I want you to speak your truth and listen to other’s with an open mind and respect.  In this class there will be lots of activities and discussions.​

Some examples of norms:

·         Be comfortable with discomfort (don’t be afraid to discuss and share)

​

·         Be engaged

​

·         Expect & Accept non-closure (sometimes not all questions can be answered right away)​

​What do you notice about these norms?
