The Agreement

The Agreement Process is a communication tool, a means to open communication.  

The Agreement Process was developed to help adults and teens really listen and find solutions together.  

The Agreement is not a contract, it is a collaborative process – to set expectations with each other, and to build a plan that works for everyone involved.


It’s about active listening, collaboration, and finding a way - together.

Training & Workshops that Introduce The Agreement Process: 
 

Your Brain, Your Choice


Teens and their Choices

Advanced Training on The Agreement Process

Available for small groups, organizations, and 1:1 sessions.

In this two-part, live recorded training, join Thomas C. Rector as he guides two participants through The Agreement Process for the first time.
 

Through example, discussion, foibles, and insights, you'll gain an understanding of how The Agreement Process works and how it helps you communicate with teens - and others. 

Includes a Printable PDF Reference Handout to walk you through The Agreement Process Fundamentals and Methodology. 

The Agreement Forms

While any blank easel pad can be used for The Agreement Process, Accrescent Institute's custom Agreement Easel-Size Sheets are designed to provide structure and guide you through the process and collaborative communication.
 

The full-size custom printed Agreement Sheets are single sheets, the same size as an easel pad - measuring 25"x30". A repositionable sticky tape is affixed on the back of each sheet so that you may post the Agreement form in a neutral location and work through The Agreement Process together. 
 
If you have previously attended a training (online or in person), we are happy to mail you an Agreement Form for your personal use.  (as long as supplies last) 

A huge thank you to the generous donor who has covered the costs of printing and shipping the Agreement sheets for 2025.
