Sample from [|The Math Coach Field Guide] (p.36)
To ensure a safe and productive learning environment, we agree to:
 * Give mutual respect
 * Give everyone an equal voice
 * Use protocols when needed
 * Disagree, but not to undermine consensus decisions
 * Disagree with ideas, not personalities
 * Say the hard things that need to be said, directly and respectfully to one another, not behind others' backs
 * Presume positive intentions
 * Make decisions based on the best interests of students
 * Meet weekly for one hour before school starts
 * Begin and end on time
 * Share facilitation and time keeping; Cheryl is the recorder
 * Set the agenda for the next meeting at the end of each meeting
