This session will explore strategies for helping students who may seem lost in the shuffle or come from a high need and/or poverty background. By helping them address how they're feeling on the inside we can create successful students regardless of their background.
Imagine a classroom where students were not only celebrated, but rewarded for taking risks. Recognizing "My Favorite Mistake" is a quick and easy way to promote risk taking within the classroom and helps to build resilient learners. Students who have the chance to recognize mistakes as being "gifts" to their educational journey, value learning, not just knowing.
The focus of this session is to share a classroom management strategy best used during longer stretches of independent work time to help manage student questions and reduce interruptions.
