Community Rights and Responsibilities
Understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of a community — that everyone has a right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, and that with rights come responsibilities to treat others the same way
Suggested ages 9–11
Learning journey
Your child is learning to navigate peer pressure and understand their rights and responsibilities in communities, while developing skills to think through ethical dilemmas from multiple perspectives.
Evidence of understanding
- Name at least three rights that every child has (e.g., safety, education, respect)
- Describe the responsibilities that go along with those rights
- Give an example of how exercising their own rights responsibly supports the community
Assessment prompt
Can Community Rights and Responsibilities explain that they have a right to feel safe at school AND a responsibility to help make school safe for others — understanding that rights and responsibilities go together?
