Building School Communities

Build genuine bonds between yourself and your students and between students and their classmates, to create “kindred classhomes.” For many of our students, our classrooms may be a safe, nurturing refuge,” the eye of the hurricane they experience as life. Build School Communities for Educators is about effective transformative actions. Develop strategies and rituals, along with design and environmental skills, to create these safe havens of learning: kindred classrooms where students and teachers work together in synergistic ways that benefit all members of the school family.
