Creating Group Norms by Using Full Value Commitments in Experiential Education Programming
Torretta, Alayne; VanderWey, Scott
Journal of Extension, v57 n3 Article 3TOT8 Jun 2019
The Full Value Commitment is an essential tool for facilitators that defines how members of a group of adults or youths operate while moving toward the group's goals. This article outlines what goes into establishing a Full Value Commitment and provides an overview of samples that are easily replicated. Through establishing group members' verbal and/or written commitments to learning and safety at the beginning of their time in a learning environment, Extension professionals can promote the occurrence of social and emotional learning alongside citizenship and leadership skill building.
