The North Star Classroom is a guide to creating the kind of place where students explore their strengths, learn resilience, and discover their power to create.

Based on best-selling author Peter H. Reynolds’ book The North Star, the program includes best practices for establishing a positive, creative climate as well as activities and projects that help students develop their interests, strengths, values, and goals.

These activities can be adapted for student councils and other student organizations to build leadership skills and enhance the planning and implementation of school and community service projects.

Activities include teamwork challenges, problem solving projects, social-emotional games and experiences, literature exploration and discussions, and personal reflection writing pieces.
