Through norms, we “accept order, justice, and civility in the classroom and respect and responsibility for helping each other learn; to welcome diversity; to foster peer collaboration; and to provide equal opportunity for participation” (Mezirow, 1997).
Listen fully and reflectively.
Practice forming new habits of mind that challenge the limits of your potential.
Hold confidentially the experiences and revelations with care.
Be responsible for your impact on the group.
Focus on your sphere of influence.
Turn your video camera on so we can see your face. 😎
Mute your sound when you are not speaking.
