CADA Conference 2013

Day of Understanding is a dynamic, student driven program that promotes safety in your school. The goal: to connect students to their school, their teachers and to each other. When we are connected, we invest, we value, we care for ourselves and those around us. Much of a school culture is survival. Students are more worried about being accepted and feeling like they belong. Students go to school clinging to their social group for identity; this causes people to make comparisons. When you compare there is always going to be someone superior and someone inferior. This is what divides students and puts them into a state of separatism. When you are separate from your school or your fellow students you don’t feel connected. If you don’t feel connected, you don’t see value in your school, and if you don’t see value you start to disrespect the school. This is what tears down the school climate and when the climate is positive, good students don’t value each other or their education. Come and hear how The Day of Understanding can change your school.
