Norms and ground rules - mblstamps/stamps2025 GitHub Wiki
What are norms?
Together, we proposed norms and ground rules to guide our interactions, which we collated into the following shared commitments.
Norms for everyone to follow
- Be respectful and encouraging of each other, including of diverse knowledge, experience, background and perspectives
- Create an environment that facilitates learning for everyone; for example,
- All questions are welcome
- Arrive curious and ready to focus
- Consider the learning styles and needs of those around you
Additional norms for the STAMPS instructional team
- Demonstrate humility and respect for learners, for example,
- by being clear and defining terms; providing context
- by checking in with the room, and adjusting speed and goals for the sessions
- by being available, and also offering space to work through challenges individually
- by supporting questions and offering multiple pathways to learning
