2. “Ground Rules”
It’s a conversation
Everyone participates; no one dominates
There are no right answers
Draw on your experiences, views & beliefs. You don’t need to be an expert.
Keep an open mind
Listen carefully. Honor differences in viewpoint and opinion.
Have fun!
Learning is social. Learning together moves our whole school
forward!
