Building Trust: The Cornerstone of Learning
As I began to write this issue, I reflected on what I might want to share this week. I decided that as we start sharing our content, it’s crucial to do so in a way that builds a foundation of trust.
Your WHY?💡
I started gathering resources for you this week on building trust in our classrooms and came across this awesome graphic that reminded me we must start with OUR WHY.🎯 Remembering your why will help you build trust with your students.🤝✨
!["A new school year brings a fresh start and a new sense of possibility. Remember your why. Remember every child is looking for belonging and acceptance. Remember to give grace to yourself and others. Remember you’re creating better future stories. What you do matters." —Leader David Geurin "A new school year brings a fresh start and a new sense of possibility. Remember your why. Remember every child is looking for belonging and acceptance.

🌟Spotlight on SEL: Nurturing Trust
With the popular movie Inside Out 2 🎬coming out over the summer, what better way to engage students than by using this chart to have them check in on how they’re feeling? 😊You can also use it to help them identify where different parts of the lesson fit into their emotions.💭🎨
Breaking it down📝
Starting a new task can feel overwhelming. Help students build confidence and trust in their abilities by helping them break down tasks using this handy task planner.
