Let's create a group agreement, otherwise known as a collectively written code of conduct. (As a reference, we might refer to the School for Poetic Computation's code of conduct).

In the spirit of the new decade, let's also adapt a strategy by Saeed Jones. Rather than New Year's resolutions, let's make determinations. We are a determined classroom. Each determination should begin with "we will..."

• We will listen
• We will self-compassionate / lenient to ourselves
• We will not make assumptions
• We will be critical
• We will be political
• We will embrace awkward silences
• We will take space / make space
• We will prioritize our own time
