Description

Ron Colbert, Vice President Representing Intermediate/Middle Childhood, submitted the following article, written by Susan B. Rosa of Fitchburg, State College. What is "community"? Webster (1976) defines community as a unified body of individuals ... an interacting population of various kinds of individuals in a common location ... a group of people with a common characteristic or interest," but can it be fully achieved or is it merely a "will-o'-the-wisp"? If we believe that building a cohesive education community matters, then how can we motivate individuals to participate in this process? Moreover, how can we get educators to buy into the construct? Maslow, Adler, Dreikurs, and other behavioral psychologists suggest that what motivates human behavior is the desire to truly feel part of something greater than yourself. Motivation comes from believing that who you are and the contributions that you make truly matter to those in the group, that your presence and expertise increases the productivity and accomplishments of those involved, and that a group can often achieve more collectively than through individual efforts.
