Topic overview:

This session explored ways to create and maintain learning communities that encourage and model positive learner behaviors.

Together, attendees investigated ways to clarify and share expectations and reviewed the types of behavior  witnessed in classes.

As educators, we can't act on every type of student behavior – we have to make decisions on the spot. Together, we considered which behaviors we could let slide and which ones we needed to act upon.

The session explored the idea of ‘Witnessing the good’ and implemented a proven three-step approach inspired by Ramon Lewis.

The session wrapped with an opportunity for Reflective Practice, using strategies that could be immediately implemented in your classes.
