Having teams establish acceptable group behavior expectations allow group members to discuss individual, pair and small group expectations, contributions and strategies for solving problems.
On a form, groups can list the behaviors they determine as desirable. This sheet can then be used for self, peer and group evaluation on a daily, activity or project basis.

Tips :

1. Revise group rules as students gain experience with cooperative learning
2. Have groups brainstorm strategies for specific problems and evaluate as a class the effectiveness of the different ideas.
