One way of role-modelling caring behavior towards others is doing a community project with the children, or encouraging children to do community service. Each school; no matter how big or small, wealthy or poor; can teach their students to care for others in the community. The outreach activities do not have be big projects. Start with a small community service activity, encouraging the children you teach to care for others.

We need to teach our children about the little creatures in the garden, encouraging the children to respect them, and discouraging them from hurting or killing these innocent creatures. As a teacher, this is a wonderful teaching opportunity. The children could be encouraged and motivated to create an indigenous, bird filled, insect and creature friendly environment at school. The enthusiasm may spread to their homes, where they may create their own gardens.

The school year is still new, consider; what type of model you will provide for the learners you teach? We expect the learners to be polite, considerate and responsible, as the teacher, we should set the same example.
