Social Awareness Involves:
- Perspective-taking

- Appreciating diversity
- Respect for others
- Perspective-taking: Identifying and understanding the thoughts and feelings of others.
- Appreciating diversity: Understanding that individual and group differences complement each other and make the world more interesting.
I believe that all students, when asked to be accountable for their actions and to be socially aware citizens, will become agents for change!
