A strong learning community is key to a successful school year. Using different routines can help to create this community within the classroom. Thinking routines have become an important aspect of classroom learning. However, emotional and social routines play an equally important role as well. This session draws from the Responsive Classroom approach particularly, the role of the Morning Meeting. During this workshop we shall explore the different parts of the Morning Meeting and share ideas and resources. We will be exploring this from a classroom teacher and an EAL teacher’s (specialists) perspective.
Outcomes: To share personal practice of incorporating social and emotional routines in the classroom. To share how Specialist teachers can also use these routines in their lessons To come away with the tools needed to incorporate a Morning Meeting into own practice.
