Fostering Learning Environments
Encouragement and positivity on a daily basis make a smooth school year. Morning meetings and closing circles are just two effective practices that do not take much time out of the day and remind students that they are heard, seen, loved, and understood. Both meetings gather the class together to build trust and make connections that otherwise may have gone unnoticed. When students share out their gratitude’s and concerns, it gives a short snippet into the life of that student and lets the others know in the classroom that they are not alone in the experience.
