This is why co-constructing rules with individual classes can be problematic.
It can lead to differing expectations and weaker overall norms across a school (not to mention frustration from teachers and pupils because 'Mr Jones allows me to do it').

1 Committing to row together, even when it impinges on our own style, because it's the best thing for the students in our care.
3 Capturing and codifying these norms in a form that can be shared with new staff and the wider community.
The more we can work with parents and community groups to align around key norms, the greater the overall effect will be.

• The power of a group norm is modulated by the norms of adjacent groups
• When the norms of multiple groups are aligned, they amplify each other (and vice versa)
• We can harness alignment by committing to row together and getting explicit about a shared approach
