This class will focus on three main components - Positive Environment, Physical Space, and Dynamic Teaching Strategies. Research and experience show that more learning takes place when students feel connected and are engaged, excited and challenged. This course will provide ideas and plans for creating a classroom where all students feel a sense of belonging, of being seen and heard and take ownership in their own learning.
