Overview
Creativity and imagination are unleashed when we know ourselves and we know how to appreciate and celebrate different perspectives. Developing a classroom culture that actively celebrates difference and promotes student capacity to advocate for their needs and those of others is critical. This presentation will explore how educators can build neuro-affirming classrooms through our social emotional learning frameworks and the impacts this has on student agency and creativity.
