We all want a classroom where students learn while treating each other with respect. This has become especially challenging in today’s “post pandemic” environment. Participants in this course will learn practical strategies that they can use today which will lead to a respectful classroom where students embrace learning. The final project centers around a personal action plan that participants can use in their classroom. “Sharpen your saw” and work with fellow teachers as you bring renewed purpose to your classroom.
