Fostering a safe, positive classroom culture

A warm dragon welcome to all new and returning Shanghai Community International School families. We have had a fantastic start to the beginning of the 2017-18 school year. Students at all grade levels have participated in a variety of fun learning experiences focused on building strong relationships with their new classmates and teachers. Similarly, students have also been part of developing the procedures, routines and essential agreements that will govern their classroom community throughout the school year.

Fostering a positive classroom culture, where students feel safe, happy and confident taking risks with their learning, is an essential part of a new school year. Involving children in discussions about how they will work and learn together and valuing their contributions allows students to have a voice and a choice regarding the establishment of a learning environment that meets their needs. At SCIS we strive to honor students’ ideas, opinions and learning styles. We believe every child is unique and has something valuable to contribute. Giving students voice and choice in how their learning community will function leads to a long-term commitment to ensuring the learning environment is one in which all members feel a part of.

At SCIS we are community of learners made up of students, parents, teachers and staff. I am confident that by working together and maintaining ongoing and open communication we will be able to ensure that all children are safe, happy and learning each day.
