With the support of their community, nonacademic values need to be stressed outside the classroom, where students actively engage in social activities to develop their community and increase the value in their education. Combining these two skills and adding the dimension of digital learning and sharing in a global society are critical to meaningful, studentcentered learning in education today.  \nCognitive and non-cognitive learning outcomes need to be developed for today’s students by collaboratively learning and networking through the involvement of the community in school. Student-centered learning should focus on critical thinking, problem solving, meta-cognition, and solving real-world issues in a global society. Students also need to meet non-cognitive learning outcomes, such as social values and teamwork, by learning collaboratively with their peers. Learning alongside peers is a valuable asset in education, through digitally sharing online as well as working collectively in the classroom. Teachers must emphasize critical thinking to prepare their students for the future, and this must occur in a collaborative learning environment with the aid of digital tools. Learning and communicating in the classroom must reflect the real world in a way that is centered on the students and their interests.  \nCommunity Involvement and Social Development  \nThe education that takes place in the community outside the classroom can fulfil curriculum outcomes in a way that students value and appreciate. The school should open early in the morning and remain open late into the evening for sports teams, drama teams, school bands, and other school activities. Students should visit businesses during class time, to learn the values of banking, insurance, and health care facilities as part of a school-community collaboration that is continuous, rather than simply a one-day event (Sanders, 2003) . A hospitable school atmosphere and interaction with the community are important to ensure healthy collaboration whereby students learn real-world values and work-related skills (Harvey & Sanders, 2002) . The school needs to be known as a community where learning takes place for many different people throughout the day, and students are taught community and social values.  \nStudents are the future of their community, and they need to have opportunities to build their neighborhood and become active, involved citizens. Students will value the information that they have learned outside the school through fundraisers, field experience , and project work, often more than what they learn in the classroom (Green & Hannon, 2007) . Sanders (2003) described field experience as “working with emotionally or physically disabled children, planting community gardens, or assisting with infant care in local hospitals”(p. 169) . The community can assist in this development through student-centered job shadowing, mentoring opportunities, and other career-focused activities in which everyone benefits, because an expectation of the school is to prepare the community’s future workforce. Students who struggle with academic work must have opportunities to exercise their strengths through streaming into nonacademic programs (Hunkins & Ornstein, 2012) . It is beneficial for the community and school to work together to ensure that the school is developing engaged citizens, and the community can play a major role in their development.  \nAlong with the support of the community, parents must be actively engaged with their children’s learning and social development inside the school and within the community. Sanders (2003) referred to family-centered activities as hosting workshops for parents and counselling for families as well as family fun and learning nights.
