Free Webinar
Climate is the atmosphere on the school campus or in the classroom. It can be positive and inviting or negative and uninviting (or somewhere in between). Do students want to be there? Are students able to learn? Are students engaged and motivated or doing the bare minimum just to get by? When students enter each day into a positive and welcoming climate and when educators use practices that provide meaningful engagement in school environments, there are a multitude of positive effects—from reducing behavioral concerns such as defiance and disruption to increasing student attendance and motivation to learn.
In this webinar, our presenter helps new and early-career special educators consider practical ways that they can consciously construct an invitational school/classroom climate and ways they can boost student engagement through concepts such as ratios of interaction, Guidelines for Success, and active participation strategies that help all learners experience a sense of purpose, place, and success.
