5. SESSION NORMS
The LEARNING belongs to you, and it rests largely with you.
Enter into the discussions ENTHUSIASTICALLY!!!
Give FREELY of your experience, but don’t dominate the discussion.
4. CONFINE your discussions to the task assigned.
Say what you THINK… be honest!
Only ONE PERSON should talk at a time… avoid private conversations while someone else is talking…
Listen ATTENTIVELY to the presentations and discussions.
Be PROMPT and REGULAR in attendance.
Follow the HAND SIGNAL from the session leader – Finish the sentence you are speaking not the paragraph you are thinking.
Place your cell phone on SILENT or VIBRATE to limit distractions.

6. What We Believe About Learning
Consider this:
We Learn About...
10% of what we READ
20% of what we HEAR
30% of what we SEE
50% of what we both SEE & HEAR
70% of what we DISCUSS with others
80% of what we EXPERIENCE personally
95% of what we TEACH to someone else
Adapted from Eldon Ekwall, 1974
