Creating Student Centered Classrooms: A Whole Child Approach for New and Experienced Teachers
Date: August 9 - August 13
Time: 9am - 11:00am (daily)
Location: Zoom link to be emailed upon registration
Target audience: New and experienced teachers
Cost: Free
In this Summer Academy, we will explore how teaching and learning are integrated through classroom culture. Throughout this week, we will ask:
Who are our students, and what conditions do they need to learn effectively?
What are some of the barriers to learning, and how does a teacher remove those barriers?
How do we engage with diversity, equity and inclusion through our teaching methods?
How can a teacher actively and positively transform the climate and culture of the classroom?
When is it important to move from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side”?
How can we flexibly move between both?
