Creating Socially Healthy and Welcoming Classrooms – The Best Bully-Buster!
In this webinar, teachers will consider pro-active approaches that build a sense of community and caring in the classroom. Particular attention will be paid to the unique contribution the teacher can and should make in setting the emotional tone in the classroom. Teacher responses in social conflict will also be considered, as they help build a caring classroom where all students feel valued and welcomed.
