Building Classroom Community and Activities to Promote Thinking and Talking

Training for Early Childhood Educators: Building Inclusive Classroom Communities

This training is designed to help early childhood educators foster an inclusive and supportive classroom community. Participants will learn specific strategies to ensure all voices are heard and respected in the creation of shared agreements, helping to create a classroom environment that reflects everyone involved.

We will explore key attributes of a positive classroom community and ways to engage all children in activities that encourage thinking and communication. Educators will gain tools to promote meaningful back-and-forth interactions with students, using techniques from the CLASS framework for Pre-K classrooms. This will include enhancing feedback quality, developing concepts, and modeling language to facilitate deeper learning and communication.
