Building Positive Relationships in the School-Age Classroom
This course will show participants how to create a caring classroom community where children feel supported, safe, included and known in their school-age classrooms. School-age classrooms need to be active, engaging places where instruction centers on student thinking and where students are able to take risks and jump into learning at hand. The focus will be on showing participants how to provide rich opportunities to work together, grow ideas, revise children’s thinking and construct meaning.
