Effective learning communities
Relationships are the foundation – time is needed to build trust
Respect is needed for time and contributions of each and every member
Teachers need to have ownership of the activities of the community
An atmosphere of openness and acceptance is necessary for all members
“Check egos at the door” to allow for real sharing
