Seven Norms of Collaboration

Agency
 Agency: Key resources
Student voice is evident when:
● students’ questions, emotions and behaviours guide learning and teaching
● students identify issues and opportunities, and suggest ideas for action
● students are included in decision-making processes
● students’ perspectives are given weight in decisions that impact them.

Student choice is evident when:

● students co-construct with peers and teachers a range of different learning activities and assessment options
● students’ ideas and suggestions are recognized and built into the school culture
● student perspectives for action are honoured
● students have opportunities to make decisions about learning independently or in groups.

Student ownership is evident when:

● students define their learning goals with support from teachers
● students reflect on their learning
● students’ ideas are supported through action. (Wheatley, M. 2006)~From Principles into Practice
