Grades 1–12
EducatorThe first week together is the ideal time to begin building community with your students. By emphasizing building relationships and establishing a safe space, you signal to your students that you value their identity, their voice, and their work. This guide covers one approach to centering students in the community-building process: incorporating community builders and Sparks into your daily schedule.
Community Builders and Sparks listed in this guide provide organic opportunities for students to laugh together, talk to each other, and share things they care about during their first week together. You could build a Community Builder and Spark into each day’s plan, or simply choose the ones that bring you and your students joy. The guide is available for download below.
