Community Guidelines
Respect Diversity
Embrace the varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of your fellow learners. Our differences make our community stronger.
Practice Empathy
Remember that everyone is facing unique challenges. Approach discussions with understanding and compassion.
Maintain Confidentiality
What's shared here stays here. Don't share personal information or stories about others without their explicit permission.
Be Constructive
When offering feedback or disagreeing with others, do so respectfully and focus on ideas rather than individuals.
Use Inclusive Language
Be mindful of your words and how they might impact others. Avoid language that could be offensive or hurtful to someone else.
Ask Questions
If you're unsure about something, ask! There's no such thing as a silly question in our learning community.
Be Patient
Remember that everyone is learning and may be at different stages in their corridor management journey.
Engage Actively
Your participation enriches the experience for everyone. Share your insights, experiences, and questions.
Respect Intellectual Property
Don't share course materials or work created by your peers outside of this platform without permission.
