Day 3 and 4: Welcome to the dance!

“The goal is to find the beat,
honor the beat,
add your voice,
and dance.

Welcome to the dance!”

Adaptive Schools

From The Adaptive School (Garmston and Wellman, 2009, page 26)
Simple Rules to Govern Complex Behavior in Groups:
1.  Take care of me.  It is each group member’s groundedness, resourcefulness, and energy that develops the synergy that makes high-performing groups possible.
2.  Take care of us.  It is our interdependence, interactions, and caring for one another and the group that motivates us to want to continue to work together.
3.  Take care of our values.  It is our values that drive our goal clarity about who we are, how we want to be together, and what we will accomplish together.
