Episode 65: ‘When Trust is Built, Learning can Happen’ with Anjalee Beverly

This week I am joined once again by the inspirational Anjalee Beverly (check out Episode 36 if you haven't already). She is all about building community in the class room before reallygetting down the nitty-gritty of teaching. Anjalee is a mainstream school teacher: how many of these ideas can you steal and adapt from this episode for your class? 1. Class Agreements 2. Affirmations 3. Community Circle 4. Surveys 5. Collective Breath Episode Shownotes: Anjalee Beverly is a twelfth year elementary education teacher who has recently moved to an International school in Cartajena, Colombia. Anjalees’ motto is trust before standards and she seeks to bring joy and rigor to every class session. She believes relationship building with students and their families is a crucial part of the learning process. Her ultimate goal as an educator is to teach her students to love themselves as they are and to find liberation through academic excellence.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Everything EFL, a podcast about language teaching. I love sharing my knowledge of stuff I've learnt and the things I do in class. I also like branching out and discovering other teachy stuff that can apply to other kinds of teachers – after all, we all want to achieve the same things, don’t we? I do this podcast to give you some practical ideas and food for thought. I also have guests who know much more than me. It's a learning experience all round! Subscribe on Apple or Spotify (or wherever) and if you could leave a 5-star review, you will have my undying gratitude. Enjoy.
