SPEAKER POWER: The goal is for one person to speak at a time, while others are expected to listen quietly.

LISTENING POSITION: The goal is for each person to think about what is being said.

ACTIVE LISTEING: The goal is to use behaviors and words that let the person with Speaker Power know you are listening and understand what is being said. 

ACTIVE LEARNING: The goal is to become an active participant and to take responsibility for my own learning.

BE YOUR BEST:   The goal is to speak up for myself in a calm and confident way, while still being kind and respectful to others. I want to talk without yelling or making anyone feel upset.

KEEP CALM: The goal is to gain or maintain self-control when faced with situations that trigger strong emotions.
