Starting next year, every student will begin their day in the general education setting—an exciting shift toward belonging and meaningful engagement for all. In this session, you'll hear directly from general education teachers who’ve successfully created purposeful experiences for students with moderate academic and adaptive needs. Discover practical strategies to foster independence, build strong peer relationships, and make every moment count in your classroom. Following the whole-group discussion, attendees will break into grade-level teams to explore age-appropriate strategies and share practical ideas.
Building relationships with students is essential for student success in the classroom. In this short hour, we will dive back into the early theories that you may have forgotten and why relationship-building strategies are key to building confidence, motivation, and a sense of security in each student in our classroom. Educators will have time to reflect on their current strategies in place and collaborate on strategies help students feel seen, supported, and valued. We will discuss why interventions and instruction in these values can create a positive and productive learning environment. Every student deserves to have someone in their corner and that someone can be you.
