Explanation:
Whether the community we belong to is physical or digital, we have a duty to make a contribution to the group. As educators, we have a responsibility not only to model community contribution, but to inspire our students to contribute to the community based on their strengths and passions, all while finding a balance with civil discourse.
We must be able to trust the members of our community. Being a trustworthy member of a community means that you treat members fairly and with respect. Whether you agree or disagree with the members of your community, it is important to respect individual opinions and points of view. A good member of a global community will work to develop not only an understanding of cultural differences, but an appreciation for those differences.
We no longer live in a society where race, religion, and politics can (or should) be ignored. We must work to understand that we do not have to think alike in order to think well together. When it comes to participating, you share your voice, you share your passion, you share your truth. Students who actively and positively participate in a community have ownership and pride in that community, and those are our successful future leaders.
