Abstract

The context of the preschool classroom provides an opportunity to help children learn cooperation, joint problem solving, and positive social behavior. To think about such a classroom context, it is helpful to explore 3 dimensions of the environment: the intellectual atmosphere (Is this a safe place to think and wonder?) the moral atmosphere (Am I important here? Does my participation count?) and the community atmosphere (Do these people care about me? Do i care about them?)
