Hey, Adrian. I love your insight about rules vs. norms. Norms are "community generated." And the possibilities for class discussion! Wonderful stuff. Thank you for sharing. I've been doing some writing about the relationship between classroom management as they relate to freedom and risk in the classroom. I very much love your clarity in that regard. Thank you! --Sean

I Like the idea of the switch from agreements to commitments. Although both require action on my part, when I commit more of me and my heart is in it. Norms do not feel as if they require action from me. Also, this student BRAVING work is pure gold. Much to steal here.

I completely agree. I think commitment works both ways.
