Violation of Social Contract

What do you do if someone is not abiding by our Social Contract or if they are doing/saying something inappropriate?

Violation of Social Contract

1. Ask them to stop. Tell them specifically how they are breaking our contract and/or being inappropriate and politely ask them to quit doing it. If that fixes the problem, great move forward and don't bring it up again. If not, go to step 2.

2. Report the incident to the teacher. Email teacher and tell them exactly what was said or done, what you did to try to resolve the issue, and what the response was.

3. Worst case scenario- Disconnect the call, if necessary and contact the teacher immediately.

Asking for Clarification

Asking for Clarification

How to

Asking for clarification...

If you are unsure about what the person is trying to say try one of these statements.

● “Could you please repeat that for me?”

● Paraphrase what you heard and ask, “Could you explain a bit more, please?”

● “I’m not sure I understood you when you said _____.

● Could you say more about that?”

● “What’s your evidence?”

● I have a question about what ______ said.

What about when you disagree...

Disagreements

Disagreements

When you don't agree...

It is okay to have differing opinions. In fact, it is actually ideal.

Just because you disagree doesn't mean you have to argue.

Try one of the following sentence stems...

● “I disagree with _____ because _____.”

● “I’m not sure I agree with what ___ said because ___.”

● “I can see that _____; however, I disagree with (or

can’t see) _____.”

Agree, to disagree...

You aren't always going to agree with everyone else and even if you have asked for clarification and expressed your point of view, many times that will not change the other persons opinion. AND THAT IS OKAY

The important parts isn't that you agree with each other, it is that everyone feels heard.

Agree, to disagree when you can't come to a consensuses.

Agree, to Disagree

Agreeing with Someone

Extending

Extend instead of just agreeing

Contributing through Agreement

Although life may be easier when you just agree with others, you also won't get as much out of your interactions, instead try extending on what they said with one of these statements.

● “I was thinking about what _____ said, and I was wondering what if _____.”

● “This makes me think _____.”

● “I want to know more about _____.”

● “Now I am wondering _____.”

● “Can you tell me more about _____?”

● “I agree with _____ because _____.”

● “I like what _____ said because _____.”

● “I agree with _____; but on the other hand, _____.”
