Finish Strong-ish Cultivating Classroom Community at the End of the Year

Finish Strong-ish Cultivating Classroom Community at the End of the Year

In this episode:

            I talk about the what, why and how of maintaining the community that you’ve worked hard to cultivate all year long.

We talk about:

1.What it means to cultivate community.

2. Why cultivating community during our post testing era matters.

3.How to cultivate community after the state testing in upper elementary.

Quotables:

-Cultivating community means to foster the growth and closeness of a group of students and/or staff members so that they feel a sense of belonging.

-Teachers are an invaluable resource and support for their students as they navigate any anxiety they are feeling about upcoming changes as they change grade levels.

- Revisiting this year's favorite classroom read-alouds is one way that you can cultivate community.
