University of Utah Pod 2 Session 1 Delierables - Guidelines (2021)
Ground Rules – adapted from established agreements developed by Inclusive Earth, the
College of Mines and Earth Science student-led group.
This is a learning environment – share with self awareness and context, honesty and
humility
Accountability – communicate openly, respectfully
Share speaking time – ask yourself WAIT (Why am I talking?) or WAINT (Why am I not
talking?)
Confidentiality – do not share discussion details
Body Language – be mindful of non-verbal cues (even on Zoom), be present
Power dynamics – we are equal in this space
Making decisions as a group
In order to contribute to the conversation, please use raise hand button or physically
raise hand to indicate you’d like to speak.
Moderator will propose consensus statement and then ask if there are objections/is
anyone in disagreement. If vote is needed, we can vote by sli.do (anonymous). Any
dissenting opinions will be discussed, and the group will do their best to honor the
range of opinions. It is not always necessary to obtain consensus for all issues.
Deliverables and other materials for submission will be circulated via email following
each zoom discussion. The moderator will assume support unless pod members respond
to that email otherwise.
Pod member roles and responsibilities
Moderators will set meeting agenda/presentation; read supplemental articles/materials
for deliverables as needed; draft deliverables and share with pod for review/edits/discussion
as needed
Secretary will take attendance for accountability, take notes as needed, especially
in discussions of deliverables, and help to monitor chat and hand raising.
