Teambuilding Activity Analogies / Similes Analogy – cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from one subject to another Similes – a figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often in a phrase constructed with “like” or “as”

Norms/Expectations “Norms” for a training session are the equivalent of “Classroom or Lab Expectations” that a teacher would have for his/her students Defined: Rules that govern individual behaviors within a group In a classroom there is “buy in” to the expectations if participants have had the opportunity to contribute to their development

Our Norms… Be respectful, and listen, being open-minded Stay on topic and on-task Come prepared to contribute at each session Refrain from off-topic and sidebar conversations Silence electronics
