We believe our school should implement the following change to be world class:  encourage the students to find a true connection to the school .

# data[].attributes.body
*  being more involved with community outside the school and also staying in touch with our community inside the school
*  have more events like chili cook off and cupcake wars
*  open mic night, invite food trucks (fall and spring)

# data[].attributes.body
Classroom-Be genuine, be yourself, be knowledgable, be welcoming and considerate. Work to provide varied experiences for each of your students to allow them to have success.
School- More time and more space for teachers to connect. Make an effort to help the students become part of the community and buy in to the UHS experience. An effort to connect to the student or students who are on the outside looking in and make them feel part of the community.

Students are people first and teachers show themselves as people by leaving their own mark while allowing students to show their own uniqueness.

# data[].attributes.body
-show your personality

# data[].attributes.body
- Allow students to have a major role in building school community and spirit - bottom up instead of top down.
- Teachers should lead by example - showing students what it means to be "world class" so that they can emulate what they see.
- Establish a connected community that all members of our school feel invested in - emphasizing peer support in addition to individual achievement. Getting our school to feel like we're all on the same team - regardless of who they are (grade, personality, activity, clubs, achievement level). Everyone gets to be involved and everyone feels appreciated for their contribution - because EVERYONE can contribute. That's "World Class."

Welcoming students at the door and saying good morning.

Being genuine with students by showing them the same person you are outside of the classroom while also recognizing that they are bringing their own unique personalities and perspectives.

- embrace individuality in teaching styles/strategies
- be flexible and adjust to "consumer" group
- create community

# data[].attributes.body
-Important to be genuine, welcoming, considerate, and mindful of the needs of others--to be aware of others is essential to connecting with others.  An example of this is standing by the door to greet students, greeting them by name; slowing down and involving students in the decisions regarding pace and assignment dates; being aware of things happening in the school, i.e., games, names on announcements.
-Important to be aware that we are part of a bigger whole, to be community minded.  An example is to look outside my own classroom and realize that we and our students are part of a bigger whole.  An example of this could be honoring a wide range of contributions and involvements (not just achievements) on a school or district-wide level (announcements, twitter).
-Reframing and embracing failure; encouraging risk-taking, taking a chance, stepping outside of comfort zone in order to learn and grow.

# data[].attributes.body
In Our Classrooms- Focus on treating students as people in your life and sharing in their experiences to create a stronger sense of community.

In Our School- Making an effort to connect to our local community and to connect together as a staff to create shared experiences.
Also, creating a showcase for all students to represent their skills and talents. Recognize all of our students accomplishments and make them feel a part of the Unionville community.
