Team Norms:
Would you enjoy working on a high performing team that is shaping the future of learning? Here’s how we collaborate according to three norms…
IMPROVE - Everyone identifies ambitious goals for their own development.
SUPPORT - Everyone is authentic (be yourself!), present, welcoming, assuming positive intent, generous, and supportive of each other within our multiple communities.
GROOVE - Everyone strives to make their practice public and their thinking visible, lean into the experiences, give and receive feedback (ie “say the thing!” even if it isn’t fully baked or you feel vulnerable), share and steal ideas, build on others’ ideas (“yes and…”), reflect, and “try on” new ideas.
