It’s the start of a new year of school and you want this year to be meaningful and joyful, right?
Of course you do! Isn’t that what we all want? Starting the year with a clear idea of our vision and hopes for the year will help us to cultivate a classroom community that works for everyone. Don’t forget, we need student buy-in! If it is ourselves and 25 students in a classroom, that means it takes 26 people to cultivate a caring classroom community.
And if you are an administrator, then you might be wondering how to incorporate your values, vision, and hopes into a school-wide pursuit of meaning and joy.
