Overview

Classrooms are highly complex ecosystems with a lot happening below the surface. This session is designed to help teachers build habits and routines for both themselves and their students that reduce friction, build a sense of community and belonging, empower students and create a space where students succeed and the joy returns to our teaching. While a small proportion of students will require significant interventions outside of the classroom, there are powerful strategies that meet the needs of many learners who currently find school hard. This session draws on research in psychology and pedagogy to focus on creating a classroom where diverse learners experience success, grow in confidence and make genuine progress.
