10 Practical Possibilities for Supporting Student Growth in Caring Classroom Communities

Learning Assistance and Resource Teachers are the bridge that connect and provide continuity in the various settings which make up the classroom. This workshop will provide practical ways to collaborate with Classroom Teachers to support students by building inclusive communities which emphasize the importance of diversity, equity and regulation as anchors for learning. Participants will be introduced to a variety of strategies including:

• Learning Spaces,
• Classroom Norms and Agreements,
• Executive Function Supports, and
• Regulation Strategies

These can be used in and outside of the classroom to provide a foundation for a safe, caring environment where learners thrive.
