Lesson 1: Setting Class Agreements and Norms

This lesson is designed to help teachers facilitate the creations of agreements/norms that will enable students to create a productive environment in which to learn. Choose which term you want to use with your students — agreements or norms. Both refer to an agreement among members of a classroom about how they will treat one another — some people prefer norms, which refer to standards for group behavior, and others prefer agreements, which refer to ways that we agree to be together.
