I have a questions for all of us;

• What role do we play in creating purpose and meaning for field day? (El Dimensions of Student Achievement)

Students

• Develop the mindsets and skills for success in college, career, and life (e.g., initiative, responsibility, perseverance, collaboration)
• Work to become ethical people: treat others well and stand up for what is right (e.g., empathy, integrity, respect, compassion)

Teachers and Leaders

• Elevate student voice and leadership in classrooms and across the school
• Model a school-wide culture of respect and compassion
• Prioritize social and emotional learning, along with academic learning, across the school

More reasons from the 10 design Principles of EL Education;

4. Empathy and Caring

• Learning is fostered best in communities where students' and teachers' ideas are respected and where there is mutual trust. Learning groups are small in EL Education schools, with a caring adult looking after the progress and acting as an advocate for each child. Older students mentor younger ones, and students feel physically and emotionally safe.

5. Success and Failure

• All students need to be successful if they are to build the confidence and capacity to take risks and meet increasingly difficult challenges. But it is also important for students to learn from their failures, to persevere when things are hard, and to learn to turn disabilities into opportunities.

6. Collaboration and Competition

• Individual development and group development are integrated so that the value of friendship, trust, and group action is clear. Students are encouraged to compete, not against each other, but with their own personal best and with rigorous standards of excellence.
