Mrs. Del-Castillo and Mrs. Steven’s Vision

for a Successful Classroom

· Security. Students must feel safe enough in the classroom to take risks in the course of their learning.

· Identity. Each student must be recognized as an individual with unique needs and abilities.

· Responsibility. The class belongs as much to the students as it does to the teacher.

· Dignity. All classroom members should have self-respect and respect for the thoughts and actions of others.

· Community. Together, the teacher, students and parents create a support system that encourages reciprocal trust and responsibility.
