Assigning student leaders in the classroom helps to foster classroom ownership, community, and cohesiveness among students.
Student leaders "apply" for a specific responsibility within the room and are assigned their role on a rotating schedule.
When students feel more involved in the daily operations of the classroom, they begin to positively manage themselves and each other.
Not only are students honored to hold these titles, an added benefit is a carryover effect that builds upon positive leadership skills.
