Join veteran elementary educator, Kara Lawson, in exploring the art of designing a classroom community of empowered learners. As we examine ways to ensure that all students see themselves as capable readers, writers, and mathematicians, we’ll investigate a variety of instructional strategies for each of these content areas and try them out together. We’ll dialogue about practical ways to nurture a greater sense of belonging in our classrooms and reflect on pedagogical practices that help to promote engagement for all types of learners while leveraging student choice and cultivating joy.
In this session, you will:
Examine practical instructional strategies for nurturing a positive classroom community in which students see themselves as empowered readers, writers, and mathematicians.
Share and celebrate the student-centered strategies that are working in our classrooms.
Reflect on ways to continue improving our student-centered practices.
