147: Creating a Classroom of Belonging with Andrew Smith

Don't miss today's episode! We sit down with Andrew Smith, our exceptional school counselor, to discuss the essential elements of fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment. We delve into the significance of creating a class charter, the benefits of alternative seating, the impact of greeting students warmly, and the importance of classroom organization. These strategies collectively work towards ensuring that students feel loved, cared for, and welcomed, which in turn enhances their engagement and desire to learn.

Andrew shares valuable insights on how to set up a welcoming classroom environment, from the physical setup to the emotional atmosphere. He emphasizes the importance of teachers knowing their students and creating a space where they feel safe and valued. We also explore the role of self-awareness in fostering empathy and how it contributes to a sense of belonging among students.

Before we wrap up, we invite you to be part of our pilot group for an upcoming online behavior course aimed at helping educators handle challenging student behaviors effectively.
