Starting Strong with Classroom Culture

The first few weeks of school are critical in establishing a solid foundation for the rest of the year. To start off strong, it's important to intentionally foster a positive classroom culture and community. This workshop series is designed to equip teachers with the necessary mindsets and skills to understand that behavior is a form of communication, and that building strong relationships is essential in creating emotionally safe and supportive classrooms. By focusing on predictability, clarity, and support, teachers can help relax students into a mindset of learning. With a strong classroom culture in place, teachers can then build upon this foundation to ensure a school year defined by a sense of belonging, academic rigor, and overall student success.
