Description:
The quality of relationships in the classroom influences student learning. A teacher's responsibility is to create shared expectations about positive behaviours and to plan transparent and predictable routines that promote optimal learning conditions. If you plan for success, you can create positive, safe, and inclusive learning environments that minimise off-task and disruptive behaviours. If you plan for success then you can encourage students to take appropriate responsibility for what is happening in the management of the class and in their own learning. In this session the presenter will walk through positive, practical steps that every teacher can include in their repertoire to create effective learning communities in the classroom. This session will focus on routines and relationships in the primary classroom.
