PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING

STORMING, FORMING, NORMING Creating group “norms” will help to establish how we will collaborate, communicate, and actively work together this year as an ACT team  Sample norms are on your table tops  In your table groups, please take five minutes to identify the norms that you believe are important for our group to establish  Feel free to add your own “norms” ideas  From your table lists, we will share out to create the initial large-group norm list together on chart paper  We will then revisit the norms at our next meeting to make sure they are workable for all  We will honor the norms at each meeting by having them visible
