Our Mission:
Chapter 2: Establishing and Maintaining Collaborative Teams
"Group Norms
Similar to schoolwide norms, group norms are the guiding principles by which a collaborative team governs itself and its work. Norms help validate the purposes of the team and provide a reminder of how team members have agreed to work with one another. Norms serve not only to inspire groups but also to keep them focused (Mindich & Lieberman, 2012). It is important that each collaborative team generate their own norms. The team might consider specific questions, such as the following:
- What behaviors do we expect to see frequently?
- What behaviors are unacceptable?
- How do we want to handle problems when they arise?
After norms have been established, it is important to monitor adherence to them over time. This might be accomplished by having members periodically rate the group's adherence to norms. Reflection upon the pre-existing norms and how they are working is essential for efficient and effective team operations. Such scrutiny can be a reminder to modify, add, or delete norms so that they are more representative of the needs of the group. The power of norms is not in creating them, but in following them."
