I decided to do something different. Instead of creating my own class values and hoping my students would embrace them, I joined my students so that we could do the vision-casting work together. Now, my class uses collaborative class values, and they’ve totally transformed my classroom management, fostered social and emotional growth, and led to a more inclusive class culture. By collaborative class values, I mean the process of creating structures for students to work together alongside the teacher to envision how the class should look, feel, and sound by picking key attributes that they all can work toward each day.
