The ToddCast - Forming Group Norms

Forming Group Norms - It is essential that everyone is one the same page and has the same expectations while working together in a group. One way to ensure this is to have the class or group form norms. Norms are the expected behavior of people in the groups. These are formed not by the leader/teacher, but rather by the participants by answering the essential question of what is needed to work effectively in a group. Then you cluster together similar answers to discover what is most important for the group as a whole.
