- Assigning student leaders in the classroom helps to foster classroom ownership, community, and cohesiveness among students.
- Student leaders "apply" for a specific responsibility within the room and are assigned their role on a rotating schedule.
- When students feel more involved in the daily operations of the classroom, they begin to positively manage themselves and each other.
- Not only are students honored to hold these titles, an added benefit is a carryover effect that builds upon positive leadership skills.
