| contents | Safe Spaces beyond the Library's Four Walls Sexton, Keungsuk Urban Schools Educational Environment Inclusion Altruism Student Empowerment Culturally Relevant Education Active Learning Student Projects School Community Relationship Partnerships in Education Elementary School Students Middle School Students This article discusses how the Kindness Initiative at the Dr. Michael Conti School in Jersey City, New Jersey, where the author is the school librarian and a literacy support teacher, promotes a climate where students feel accepted. As they progress from pre-K through middle school, students are exposed to social justice literature designed to get them to empathize with others. Having kids connect with characters in a book is just the first step to getting them to care about the way inequality and unfairness plays out in the real world. The school is big into project-based learning (PBL) that encourages students to value and practice kindness. The article discusses student voice and empowerment, culturally relevant teaching, and the importance of seeking community partnerships. |
