How can morning meeting and character education foster a community of respect in a second grade classroom?

<p>The purpose of this qualitative research study was to determine how Morning Meeting and the integration of character education values in a second grade classroom can lead to a respectful classroom community. As the United States becomes increasingly diverse, teachers need to learn ways in which they can create a positive learning environment where all students feel accepted and respected. Participants of this study include 13 second grade students; seven boys and six girls. Participants took part in daily Morning Meetings for approximately 20 minutes a day for a period of six and a half weeks. Data was analyzed and interpreted through the coding and categorizing of student surveys, Student Response Journals, and recordings. Findings and conclusions are discussed.</p>
