What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students plan how a team will work before starting a shared project. They set clear expectations, name the result, assign responsibilities, schedule steps, and keep the group on track.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students create clear norms, define a shared result, divide responsibilities, and set deadlines before beginning. During the work, they run brief check-ins, address missed tasks, and revise the plan when needed.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat norms as vague rules such as “be respectful” rather than naming observable actions. They may confuse roles with goals, assign all decisions to one leader, or create a plan without deadlines and check-ins.
How to Assess It
- Give this exit ticket: “Plan a four-person class podcast. State the final product, three specific team norms, each person’s role, and one check-in procedure.”

Ways to Teach It
Give teams sticky notes to build a project board with a shared outcome, roles, deadlines, check-ins, and a plan for missed work.
Ask students to write which group norm prevents unequal participation, then discuss what that norm would sound and look like.
Use scenario cards about absent members, missed deadlines, and disagreements, and award points for specific procedures that keep the team moving.
Have teams plan a school event as a committee, including assigned jobs, decision rules, deadlines, and a two-minute progress meeting.
