Episode 106: Cornerstones of Learning #3 Community Building

What is this buzzword ‘community?’.  Why is it so important for students to have a space to share stuff, have their opinions heard, feel valued, feel slsafe enough to give you feedback (oh yes, that’s part of it!)? In the third installment of Cornerstones of Learning, I share the benefits of building a community in your classes and I share a bonus activity to get the ball rolling.  Remember, it’s a process and needs to be worked on constantly.  Ice breakers at the start of term isn’t enough!

I’m passionate about serving teachers. There’s no one size fits all lesson plan or solution to your class needs and issues. But, you’ve got a friend and support system in me. I can help reduce your overwhelm, give you some teachy inspo and improve your work-life balance. How? With solid takeaways you can try out immediately AND some much needed teacher love. Because your wellbeing is important too. You can find my contact details in the show notes if you'd like me to work with your institution and create a tailor-made CPD workshop for you.
