Creating Classroom Community: How?
"Of all the things that count, nothing is as important as the people in the process. Teaching machines, microcomputers, programmed materials, distance learning, communication highways, and other technological advances may play an important role in education, but they cannot substitute for human relationships. Teaching is a way of being with people. This 'being-with' process has a great impact on students' ideas about themselves and their abilities."
Purkey and Novak, Inviting School Success

Physical/Emotional Safety Physical and verbal violence has to be addressed.
Ground rules and social commitments help in establishing boundaries.
Instances of harassment, hitting, etc. though, must also be dealt with quickly.

Conclusions from Research by Anthony Bryk and Barbara Schneider
Schools reporting strong relational trust levels in 1994 were three times more likely to eventually improve in reading and math than those with very weak trust reports.
By 1997, schools with strong relational trust reports had a one in two chance of being in the improving group vs. a one in seven chance for schools with very weak relational trust reports.

Perhaps Most significantly... Schools with weak relational trust levels in 1994 and 1997 had
virtually no chance of showing improvement in either reading or mathematics.
