Community Guidelines

Netiquette:

• Respect is shown to a diversity of identities and orientations toward OT practice.

• Respect the confidentiality of your OT clients and other students in the course (admission to the course is rolling; please use the anonymous comment option for the highest degree of long-term privacy protection. Anonymous comments will still be deleted if they violate community guidelines).

• The course facilitator reserves the right to remove students' comments and students from the program that routinely violate community guidelines, terms of service, and privacy policy.

Guidelines for Constructive Dialog/Discussion: (From Professor Rachel Hershberg of the University of Washington Tacoma)

• Share time and space
• Be aware of INTENT and IMPACT
  • Take a minute when needed 
  • Refrain from using damaging language
• Work hard to understand different views
• Challenge ideas, not people
• Expect/accept discomfort and joy as part of the learning process 
• Engage from a place of compassion (open heart)
• Replace judgment with curiosity (open mind)
