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
