The Heart of Education |
Education is about people working and learning together. It is about building relationships with the students and adults in an effort to create a learning community. How we treat each other and the way we interact with one another will set the tone for everything else we do in school. This presentation is about building trust in relationships. It is based on the premise that we make a difference in the lives of students and staff by creating a positive school climate that is conducive to collaborative learning for all. It is one thing to say that we should be part of a learning community, but it is another thing to translate that into action. |
The Learning Outcome: We make a difference. We have to believe that statement. Every child that enters our schools in August will be different in June. The question is how will they change? By next August will they simply be one year older? Will they simply have a year’s worth of new facts in their heads? Will they be more school-wise and better able to spew back what we want to hear? Or will they be independent thinkers, mature enough to tackle the academic and social challenges ahead of them? The answers to these questions come from within us, the adults. What we do with students and how we do it, from August to June is the critical factor. The Conference will feature concurrent sessions on Best Practice |
