- Pat Roy, director of the Delaware Professional
Development Center, said identifying a set of norms
is an effective way to democratize a group.
- “If they don’t do this, 10 minutes after you’ve handed them a list, they’ll begin violating the norms because they aren’t
their norms,’’ Roy said.

Blumsack cautions that norms must
fit the group.
- On the side facing out, write the group
member’s name; on the side facing the
member, print the group’s norms.
