New Class Roles: Building Environments of Cooperation

Filed under: Educational Technology — admin @ 12:35 am

by Lori Desautels, Edutopia

Our classrooms can become “holding environments” where children and adolescents begin to feel good about themselves through serving one another, increasing their sense of purpose and capability, which increases self-esteem and positive emotion. How do we establish bonds based on commonalities rather than differences in our schools and classrooms, places where feelings of mastery, autonomy, and purpose intimately impact the learning and instructional process? I suggest that we create classroom responsibilities, tangible roles, and cooperative tasks that position students and teachers for success.
