Why is Caring Habits Easy to Sustain?
Schools can’t afford wasting time and resources on programs that come and go. Caring Habits build on the principle of shared community that is inherent in the celebration of holidays. Most simply described, getting into Caring Habits is like getting into a holiday like Valentines Day or a “holi-month” Black History Month. You decorate, think about what it means, adopt it’s meaning into your own life and share it with others. It SEEMS simple, but like the holidays – its capacity to bring us all together in shared behaviors and actions is very very powerful.* *Look up Lave & Wenger Communities of Practice and Situated Learning Theories on the internet.
