Reflection: Reflection on Ground Rules for Courageous Conversations
Ground rules articulate a set of expected behaviors for conduct during conversations. They can be set by an instructor or created by the students themselves (in classroom settings) or by the participants (in a conversation).
Develop 10 ground rules and explain each choice in two-three sentences.
Here are some examples of ground rules. If you choose to use any of these, you must explain why you selected those in particular.
- Listen actively and attentively.
- Ask for clarification if you are confused.
- Do not interrupt one another.
- Challenge one another but do so respectfully.
- Critique ideas, not people.
- Do not offer opinions without supporting evidence.
- Avoid put-downs (even humorous ones).
- Take responsibility for the quality of the discussion.
- Build on one another's comments; work toward shared understanding.
- Always have your book/readings in front of you.
- Do not monopolize discussion.
- Speak from your own experience, without generalizing.
- If you are offended by anything said during discussion, acknowledge it immediately.
- Consider anything that is said in class strictly confidential.
