How do we build strong, resilient communities that foster learning
and a deep sense of belonging? In this workshop, led by veteran MMSD educators, participants will reflect on the ways in which our identities and values shape the learning spaces we create. We'll work together to identify elements of communities that have made our own past learning experiences especially positive and meaningful. The tools we need to transform our classrooms and other learning environments can always be found within us and between us, thus our time together will center on making connections with other educators and expressing joy as we explore valuable examples of ways to nurture thriving communities.
Learning Goals- Participants will reflect on concrete ways to honor and nurture core values in service of building community in learning spaces.
- Participants will explore strategies for strengthening community by keeping identity expression, relationship-building, and joy at the center of the work.
