How might you use a norms activity with your site, department or team? by Kathleen Helfrey https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z Read responses and make connections, ask questions, build on ideas en-us 2020-06-04 20:15:42 UTC 2021-06-08 17:13:23 UTC hello@padlet.com dentona4 https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590737025 We've done norms creation at my site in the past as part of our work with culturally responsive teaching. We used a chalk talk method and then something similar to the dot voting. It brought up a share of ideas, but it never felt like the creation of norms benefited the work because not everyone bought in. I wonder if these norm creation activities can truly be successful or if other work needs to be done first?]]> 2021-06-07 18:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590737025 I would love to revisit the norms that my weekly collaboration team created last year. We are a group of four and could use one of the small group activities. gatesk8 https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738097 2021-06-07 18:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738097 What are the norms for all? victor_fagundes https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738446 I would use this with some norms, but others may need to be non-negotiable. A governing body has a responsibility to create a safe/brave space. This may mean being intolerant of some ideas. It leads me to think of the tolerance paradox.]]> 2021-06-07 18:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738446 Co-creating norms abdelkhaleqe https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738639 Knowing that all stakeholders and members of the community are not present in Agenda making and norm making, it is essential that all groups and members of the community have a voice in creating Norms that they are expected to adhere to. This extends to our classrooms. Norms/Classroom rules should be a community making process, not top down from the teacher or administration.]]> 2021-06-07 18:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738639 laudend https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738815 Norm creating has been really time consuming for our school for many years. I liked the idea of "making sense of" the norms together. I think we need to reflect on and interact with them more.]]> 2021-06-07 18:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590738815 tulers https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590739126 Our ILT needs to revisit the norms they have created. I don't think they match what we need anymore and I don't think people have ownership anymore.

However, I am wondering how to continue keeping norms integral as I can see people just brushing them off after looking at them so many times.]]> 2021-06-07 18:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590740488 I can use the norm back to generate ideas, and I can invite members to contribute to the list of norms, then use the Dotmocracy process to narrow them down with the group. I would also want to be mindful about if all members are contributing and being heard. https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590741713 T.

Aside from the non-negotiables, what are the pros and cons of providing a menu of norms versus inviting teachers to create them? rodriguezn25 https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590742894 2021-06-07 18:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590742894 Use them! lis71 https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590744268 We do not use norms in our small community but I imagine when we start discussing student achievement they will definitely be necessary.]]> 2021-06-07 18:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590744268 tulers https://padlet.com/helfreyk/1glemsgsuapcjr0z/wish/1590744943 I see the norms from the list in so many meetings that they don't feel authentic. They are a good starting point, but I think the group needs to come up with the wording. When you see the exact same norms with the same wording in every meeting, you kind of start paying attention to them.
