SI-PASS session Ground Rules
Session etiquette
In order to have a good and productive discussion climate it is important to establish some ground rules in the first SI-PASS session. Post these rules in the classroom when you have SI-PASS sessions.
Some ideas on possible rules:
- Listen to what your discussion partner has to say
- Do not interrupt
- Challenge or support ideas, not people
- Support your ideas with example and facts from the course material
- Keep an open mind
- Make sure everyone has a chance to talk
- Look at the person who is speaking
