Here are some basic ground rules:
- Emphasize that the classroom (or where ever you are teaching) is a safe place. We are here to share and learn from each other.
- Don't speak when someone else is speaking. Raise your hand when you want to be heard.
- Respect other students by really listening to what they have to say. Don't judge yourself or anyone for what is said or shared.
- No Names are to be mentioned. If you tell a story about what someone said or did, just say "this person" instead of their name.
- NO GOSSIPING! Do not repeat what you heard about other students to anyone. You don't want anyone repeating what you have shared.
- It is okay to talk to others about the lessons you have learned. By sharing character lessons, they too can become character teachers.
