Welcome to the on-line consultancy being offered by Kim Carter of Souhegan
High School. My name is Jennifer Mueller. I am Dean of Faculty at Souhega=
n
High School and a CFG coach. As facilitator of the consultancy, I will
review the norms and the format for the consultancy.

Please refer to
www.learner.org/worshops/criticalissues/resources/studentwork1.html
for a detailed description of the consultancy protocol that we will be
following over the next 9 days.

Because communication on-line is different from face-to-face conversations,
please use the following norms as guidelines for your participation:
(Modified from Group Norms for a "Library Virtual CFG", initially defined
5/4/96 in Santa Cruz, CA)

Group Norms for on-line conversations

1. Be honest.

2. Use "I" statements instead of "you" statements.

3. Acknowledge and recognize all ideas.

4. No put-downs

5. Humor, yes; sarcasm, no.

6. Ask clarifying questions.

7. Disagree with ideas not people.

8. Find ways to code on-line messages for special needs (e.g. "urgent
response needed") and use emoticons to help convey understanding: J, L.

9. Try to ask questions, not make statements.

10. Generate thinking - rather than make judgements.

The first step of the consultancy asks Kim to provide an overview of her
work. In the next message, I will post Kim=B9s overview which highlights the
question she is struggling with and some attached documents. After reading
Kim=B9s overview, the next step gives you the chance to ask clarifying
questions that you may have. I will post an introduction to Step
2:Clarifying Questions on Thursday, March 11, 1999.
