GROUP AGREEMENTS

Our ways of study and teaching have changed. Learning and engaging now require different skills and new expectations. It's NEVER too late to introduce group norms or group agreements:

Create Agreements together or have ideas prepared in advance. In any event, they are "agreements" rather than rules because you ask students to settle on them together. Ask for verbal or written consent.
Start every meeting with an acknowledgment of your Agreements. Be it rewriting them, adding another, evaluating how you are doing, or simply showing them again.
Tell students that you see them following the Agreements! Especially ones that are new or difficult.
