Forum Guidelines

The establishment of a forum guideline will help the facilitators of the forum moderate posted comments and intervene with inappropriate comments, if necessary. Please note that this guideline is meant to aid in creating a positive, safe space for people to share their ideas, solutions, and resources with each other and build a sense of community.

Guidelines

1.      Respect the comments of others.

2.     Keep the conversation going. Respond to other comments. Look for connecting points.

3.     This is a positive, safe, and inclusive environment. Do not use profanity, threatening, or abusive comments.

4.     Envision how this Community of Practice could improve systems by posting thought-provoking questions and comments.

5.     Be honest and authentic. The most effective forums have an authenticity and integrity to them.

6.     Be open to new ideas and perspectives.

7.     Facilitate meaningful discussions that go deeper into a topic.

8.     If you disagree with a comment, share an alternative perspective instead of attacking.

9.     This is your community. Be active by posting questions and comments.
