What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students follow agreed norms for collegial discussion, monitor progress toward goals and deadlines, and carry out assigned roles. They help the group stay productive and inclusive.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student follows turn-taking and response norms, completes a role, and checks progress against the goal. The student helps adjust timing or tasks when needed.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may focus on their own role while ignoring group progress. They may treat norms as rules enforced by one leader rather than shared responsibilities.
How to Assess It
- Give groups a ten-minute decision task with roles, a goal, and a midpoint deadline. Use a checklist for norms, role work, and progress tracking.
