Classbuilding & Teambuilding
Why do teachers who do more teambuilding and classbuilding obtain higher academic scores? Teambuilding and classbuilding create the conditions for learning. When students meet their needs for security and belonging, they are free to engage in higher-level learning. Disruptions and discipline problems decrease, speeding up your teaching and student learning. When students feel safe, known, respected, and appreciated they enjoy school more and are more prepared to work hard and learn well. Come learn from the experts how to create the appropriate context to nurture learning. Provide more nutrients for the brain with energizing classbuilders. Build productive learning teams with a range of teambuilders. Reduce the psychological and emotional distance between classmates and instill in students a sense of belonging. Invest a day focusing on how to create a caring, cooperative context for learning—and reap the benefits for your entire teaching career.
