“Before You Do That”: Building Classroom Communities Where Literacy Learners Thrive (Session 2)

In this series of 1-hour sessions we will look closely at Responsive Classroom ™ practices to help us build strong classroom learning communities that have belonging, agency and an academic growth mindset at the centre. The environment we cultivate, and the relationships we form, lay the groundwork for establishing routines that provide scaffolds for success for children and free us to engage in effective instruction. Whether you want to implement these ideas now, (it’s never too late to start something good!), or are thinking forward to September, come learn about how to create a classroom community where everyone—including the teacher—can flourish. 

Session 2: Teacher Language
How we talk to, about, and with, children affects our image of them, and their image of us! We will address 5 simple rules and 2 routines that can make setting the tone for learning more productive and learn about instructional routines that engage kids while supporting equity.
