| Example of Team Norms |
Have students create some "team norms" together as a class or group. These are some of the ideas we discuss before creating them.
- Have respect for each other. - Respect each other's ideas. ...
- All group members should do an equal amount of work. ...
- Your group should have a common understanding of goals that need to be achieved. ...
- Be open to compromise. ...
- Effective communication. ...
- Time management. ...
- Be happy in the group you are in.

Define roles! Let them wear their tag or paste to the cover of their folder for the project. It will make them feel important (kids loving having "jobs") and it let's you know that the group is on task, time and target!
For each job title, you can print the description on the back. There are 4 jobs per team:
Team Captain
Facilitator
Resource Monitor
Recorder/Reporter
Use checklists that explain clear expectations to each group!
