4. Norms Active Listening Appropriate use of electronics Equity of voice
Respect for all perspectives
Confidentiality
Norms are the standards or expectations by which a group has agreed to operate while working together. They should be used whenever two or more people are working together for a productive outcome.
Norms help to maximize the productivity and effectiveness in a positive setting and ensure that individuals are respected. They place responsibility on individuals for expected behavior helping to build community in your group, and, at the same time allow for risk taking.
Norms should be positive, kept simple and be few in number. The optimum situation is for the group to develop their own norms.

5. Parking Lot
Anytime during the training, you are invited to write a concern, question, or comment on a post-it and place in the appropriate column on the Parking Lot chart.

6. Connecting Activity Rita’s Story
To bring participants mindset to the training: Dr. Rita Pierson (who passed away recently) shared wonderful stories and anecdotes about her experiences in education. She was a trainer for Ruby Payne’s Framework of Poverty. Think about the relevancy of this story for your new teachers, who most often believe that they will have classrooms of the kind of students they were themselves with parents the same as their parents. Have participants share a relevant take-away. 6
