Our main points this week were how to incorporate inclusive practices in our own classroom, how trauma and language can affect learning and how to individualize learning for students. I believe of all of the pieces that we should incorporate in our classroom as an educator, these are definitely of the most important.
Making all of our students feel welcome and celebrated in the classroom is so incredibly necessary for their learning and for the classroom environment in general. If a student doesn’t feel as though you care about them as a whole person their learning will suffer. Inclusion could be giving many different options for projects or creating different stations for different learning styles, incorporating more than one culture in the classroom so that each student is represented, or even using phrases throughout the day or week in different languages of students in your classrooms. There are so many options that can help students and yourself learn more about each other and ensure a welcoming classroom.

Study AbroadThis June I have gotten the opportunity to travel to South Africa to observe policies and practices of the education systems. I will be working with students and educators from the U.S. and South Africa on a Changemaker Project. Our hope is to bring awareness to the different types of diverse learners in the U.S., South Africa and all over. Archives
