I volunteer as a leader, or teacher, at my church’s Vacation Bible School every summer. I have one or two younger helpers (usually in middle school) that assist me in teaching the students and with whatever help I may need. I usually have kindergarten and first grade students in my group and being in a team-teach setting really aids in the learning process for the students and makes the entire VBS experience more enjoyable for us all. Being part of a suburban map group has enhanced my learning experience greatly and exposed me to scenarios and lessons I would have otherwise not had access to. I could easily use collaboration in the classroom to teach citizenship to my students by demonstrating how to effectively work with others in a group setting while demonstrating respect, communication skills and positive group techniques. By showing students positive group-work techniques they will be much more likely to avoid or know how to deal with difficult social situations they encounter in the future.
