Ground Rules

• one speaker at a time should speak
• being receptive to the views of others
• participating actively in discussions
• strive for consensus
• no side conversations
• make discussions additive
• agree that all views have equal value

• use I statements; tell stories not assumptions about the world
• don't attack others; use the "when you (blank), I felt (blank)" to relate things back to your feelings and thoughts
• what is said here stays here; what is learned here leaves here
• stay in the here and now
• no belittling of others, this includes put-downs, and even the humorous variety called "zaps." (To "zap" a person often serves to discourage open and honest exchange among the whole group)
• be openminded and respectful of other's opinions
• value risk taking and openness to challenges
