Abstract:

This session will address the need for intentional actions to nurture positive relationships to facilitate language acquisition and academic success in the classroom. Through pre-prepared activities, participants will actively engage in helping to build a supportive and trusting atmosphere. Participants will become familiar with strategies to promote positive relationships that can be implemented school-wide and/or at the classroom level. Participants will also learn how to start embedding these activities, with a "How to get started" checklist. Additionally, they will also take a self-assessment about Student-Teacher relationship building and create an action plan. By the end of the session, participants will have a better understanding of how positive relationships can lead to increased language acquisition and improved academic performance.
