Classroom Culture 1: Building a Trusting Environment
What is a curated workshop series?
A set of workshops deliberately designed and sequenced to build skills in one topic, from the fundamentals to advanced techniques. Through community, discussion, and multiple opportunities to practice, teachers hone new strategies they can use right away.
Description
This workshop series helps teachers create inclusive classrooms by welcoming different identities, building authentic relationships, and establishing strong routines. Participants will explore how personal identities shape interactions with students and families, develop strategies to counter bias, and practice active listening to strengthen connections. Teachers will also learn to implement intentional routines that promote a safe, predictable, and independent learning culture. Through hands-on practice, educators will gain skills to build trust and foster a positive atmosphere from the start of the year.
We recommend scheduling this series to prepare teachers for the start of the school year.
