The session steps participants through the process of developing a student learning contract using a “grounded” approach. This identifies the desired behaviors of individual students, their allocated team members, and the educator using students’ own words. This process is described for classes with and without the use of student teams. When teams are used, the process identifies desired behaviors of team members as well as those of individual students and the educator in a unique study of this three-way relationship. Results indicate that this helps to create a positive, productive and collaborative learning culture.
