<p>Creating a positive classroom community at the beginning of the year sets a foundation for learning and cooperation for the rest of the year. My school uses the Leader in Me program based on Stephen Covey's book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Students learn to use the habits in their everyday lives inside and outside of school. Many of the habits deal with communicating and interacting with others. Along with teaching the habits, I take part of each day to allow students to practice talking to each other about their interests as well as learning how to listen and respect each other. A few times a week, we do a morning greeting in which students have to find 3 friends, shake their hands and say, "Good morning, ___." and then give them a compliment. Other times, they share something that they did over the weekend or the evening after school. This has really been beneficial in helping them become more comfortable interacting with each other and working together in class. </p> What makes the difference bet…tag:www.classroom20.com,2018-10-03:649749:Comment:11779072018-10-03T11:14:36.692Zamirah arahttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/amirahara

<p>Hello! Your post makes me think of a program that I am involved with, called Need in Deed. I am a teacher in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Need in Deed is a non-profit organization that assists teachers in creating and implementing community service learning projects with their students. The program begins with a getting to know each other period of time, when the students learn about each other and begin to form connections based on likes, dislikes, etc. The second part of the program includes investigating various community "issues", such as child or animal abuse, urban blight, or addiction. Students are able to conduct research about these topics based on interest and groups are formed to present information to other students. Eventually, the topics are narrowed down to one and a service learning project is created. In the past, I have raised money for the local humane society, written letters about the dangers of habitat loss to orangutans, and launched a mission of kindness throughout our school. </p>
<p>I believe that Need in Deed has really helped me create a positive learning environment over the years and, while everyone does not have access to such a program, creating a classroom project or mission really seems to help form bonds and develop mutual respect for each other.</p>
