Helping Hands

If you want to teach children to be responsible, you have to trust them with responsibilities. Classroom jobs are an effective way to enlist students in the duties of running a classroom and to let them learn personal responsibility as well as have a personal stake in the classroom. Throughout the school year, students will have jobs within the classroom community. These jobs will change monthly and there will be "substitutes" to provide backups when the primary helper is absent or unavailable.
