INVOLVEMENT

Family
The dictionary defines family in several ways. One
definition is "a fundamental social group in society
typically consisting of one or two parents and their
children." While this definition is a good starting point,
several modern family structures are excluded by this
definition, such as childless couples, friends as family, or
many other variations of the family unit. Another definition
is "Two or more people who share goals and values, have
long-term commitments to one another and commonly
reside in the same dwelling." Today there are many
definitions of the concept of family, and all are equally
wonderful and celebrated.
What is COMMUNITY
community? A community is a social unit (a group of
living things) with a shared socially
significant characteristic, such as place,
set of norms, culture, religion, values,
customs, or identity. Communities may
share a sense of place situated in a given
geographical area (e.g. a country,
village, town, or neighbourhood) or in
virtual space through communication
platforms.

5 characteristics
of a healthy school
environment
#1 ATTENTION TO CULTURE IS EVERYWHERE
As explained by author and researcher Samuel Casey Carter,
while students do learn during class, there’s also much that is
learned implicitly, outside of the classroom, during a school day.
A collaborative school where the mission is reflected in each
interaction will take this into account.
#2 a nurturing environment with high

expectations
Culture isn’t dictated by one person, it’s created by a
community. Supporting and challenging individuals in
a nurturing environment not only drives growth, but
ensures that community members are engaged.
#3 engaged staff, engaged students
According to a 2018 Gallup poll, engaged students are 4.5 times more
likely to be hopeful about the future than disengaged peers. A study from
Cardwell echoes the importance of engagement, finding that students who
reported high levels of teacher support indicated that they also had higher
levels of engagement.
#4 a commitment to lifelong
learning
Beliefs, values and actions spread the farthest when learning is actively
happening at every level. In education, every member of the school
community should feel compelled to participate in the learning process.
Teachers who model inquiry, curiosity, and even uncertainty create the
understanding that what students have not yet learned, can be learned,
can be learned. And that a desire to learn is the first and most essential
step in this process.
#5 holistic sense of responsibility
As stated in Harvard Business Review’s The Culture Factor,
when aligned with strategy and leadership, a strong culture
drives positive organizational outcomes. Selecting or developing
leaders for the future requires a forward-looking strategy and
culture.
