There is a lesson to be learned in the San Francisco Giants victory in the World Series.

“What made them special was it was such an unselfish group,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “They love each other, play for each other and had a never-say-die attitude.”

One of the first things we, as teachers along with our students, should do is build community in our classrooms.  We need to develop a safe, mutual respect environment where real collaborative learning can take place.

We, as the facilitators of learning, should be modeling our passion for being constant learners and the willingness to work hard to meet our goals. 

The San Francisco Giants showed that through hard work, determination and heart you can accomplish great things.  Let’s instill this same attitude with our students.
