What are our expectations for working together? Create a list of statements that the team agrees to uphold. For example, ask yourself: How do we make this group a safe space for transparent discussion (knowing that it might become contentious, and avoid back-channeling)? What are our ground rules for meetings? How do we ensure everyone is engaged? How do we ensure everyone has a voice? How will we resolve disagreements?

• We listen to understand

• We approach discussion with creativity

• We actively participate in a spirit of collaboration

• We are respectful in our disagreements

• We support decisions once they are collectively made
