Community Guidelines
Community Guidelines are guidelines that are made to create a safe space within the OLC. Each OLC has a different set of community guidelines, and the list is always changing!
Here are the CASP OLC community guidelines:
- Be Respectful (Attack the idea, not the individual) - those that share ideas should be respected and if need be the idea should be broken down, not the individual.
- Listen to each other - respect includes active listening. Students must show full attention to their OLC leaders as well as their peers.
- One mic, one star - When someone else is speaking there should be no one else speaking.
- Embrace the silence - Silence is ok! Everyone processes information differently and this needs to be respected.
- "I" Statements - Be accountable for what you say. Students should not assume for their peers or other groups.
- Inclusive Language - Practice inclusive language for all identities.
- Vegas Rule - Whatever is said in the space, stays in the space. However, whatever is learned in the space leaves it!
- Lean into your discomfort - Practice trying to challenge yourself to share or contribute to the OLC. Everyone is part of this learning community!
- Have fun! - Self-explanatory :)
Thank you to California Coast Credit Union for making our 2018–2019 academic year OLCs possible!
