I can explain how the system of networks will work together to improve teaching and learning. I can identify and describe the four components of the leadership network. I can articulate my role in the leadership network.

  8. Setting Network Norms Group norms are agreed upon ways in which we will work together so that productivity is maximized. They are posted and reviewed (verbally and in writing) at all meetings. Norms should clarify the expectations of each team member and should be stated as positive commitments.

  9. Team Norms Activity Think individually, write down 3 positive norms that you feel should be included on our list (2 minutes). Share with your team and decide upon a group list of 3 norms you think are most important. Be ready to share whole group.
