Community InvolvementCollaboration
Another important collaboration that is necessary for teachers and
students to engage in is with the general community. We must work as a team to
involve ourselves in the community and demonstrate leadership qualities so that
others will follow in the same path. Some of the ways that we can get involved in
the community are:
Extra-curricular activities (ie. being a mentor or team member in
sports or clubs)
Volunteer work (ie. the class could pick up garbage around the
community, food or money donations for charities)
Field trips (ie. visiting the local nature center)
Selling school products to raise money (ie. students may visit houses
or businesses and sell Student Union Ticket books)
Gaining volunteer support (ie. during festivals, career days, school
celebrations, in the classroom — this may include parents, guest
speakers such as a police officer, school advisors, business owners or
other professionals)
School projects (ie. some schools may do a scavenger hunt, where
they find their items hidden at certain establishments and raise
money in the process)School Community Engagement Continuum
