Questions

As you work on the document, and as you come together to finalize your community agreement, take a few moments to reflect on these questions:

• What do you think are the benefits of establishing a written community agreement?
• What could be the benefits of regularly reviewing your community agreement? How often?
• What situations (both current and potential) in your community might be helped by having a community agreement?
• What’s going to help us work well together?
• How do we want to treat one another in this space?
• What would make this community a good space for learning?
