ESSL Online Culture of Honour

1. Be kind and courteous to leaders and students alike within our culture of honour.
   Students come from many different Christian streams and denominations. Not everyone will hold the exact same theological revelation or experience. We respect each other’s differences and do not engage in arguments.
2. Respect everyone’s privacy.
   Being part of a group requires mutual trust. Our authentic, expressive discussions are part of what makes groups great, but at times what is shared may be sensitive and private. What’s shared in the group should stay in the group. To respect everyone’s privacy we do not video record Zoom sessions.
3. Adhere to ESSL’s Zoom Etiquette Guidelines.
   This includes not unmuting and interrupting speakers; keeping your Zoom video camera turned on whenever possible but especially during connect groups and any activations/breakout room discussions; only using the ‘chat’ function to ask questions or to affirm one-another and keeping ‘chat’ to a minimum during teaching sessions. If you have to leave the Zoom for any reason other than a Wi-Fi glitch, to send a message in the ‘chat’ prior to leaving.
4. I understand that if I do not adhere to these requirements, I may be asked to leave the online school.
   If I am asked to leave, any excess fees from that day will be refunded to me. Eastgate/ESSL online will not be under any duty to re-admit me to the school.
