WHAT
IS IT?
Ground
rules are the rules that a team or class should
set together. If a group can offer ideas of
behavioral norms (what's acceptable, what should
always, or never, happen in the group), they
feel ownership of the process. This type of
open and reflective sharing is the first step
toward creating a safe and open environment.

HOW
IS IT MADE?
- As
a team, consider ways to get everyone's ideas
(brainstorming: refer to guide rules for brainstorming).
- As
a team, determine how you can take a large list
and turn it into ground rules (no more than
6 or 7).
