Positive Learning Behaviours Creating Remarkable Learning Communities

21 August 2024
ONLINE via Zoom Meeting

Overview

This active session will explore ways to create and maintain learning communities that encourage and model positive learner behaviours.
 
Together we will investigate ways to clarify and share expectations and review the types of behaviour we witness in our classes.

As educators we can’t act on every type of student behaviour – we have to make decisions on the spot: together we will consider the behaviours we can let slide and those we need to act upon.

We will also explore the idea of ‘Witnessing the good’  and implement a proven three-step approach inspired by Ramon Lewis.

We will wrap up the session with an opportunity for Reflective Practice using some strategies you can immediately implement in your classes.

Key topics covered in this webinar 

  • Shared expectations for effective learning and teaching
  • Considering learner behaviour in my classes
  • Witnessing the good: the power of connection
  • Big and small ticket items- avoiding the battleground
  • Restorative Practices: repairing the harm
  •  A three-step approach… contextualising the work of Ramon Lewis
  • Reflective Practice
