Workshop Description:

As we work with children every day, we need to remember the whole child regarding strategies and resources. As our educational journey continues from year to year, we have to continuously review our classroom practices to ensure all children's needs are met at all times. This workshop will open with a high-level overview of best practices, but by the end of the session, participants will have real-time solutions in hand to implement the next school day.

• Participants will review professional articles discussing how they can effectively educate all children.
• Participants will learn effective tips to work with students who may struggle with emotionally while ensuring whole group instruction is not compromised.
• Participants will focus on how to better prepare students for after graduation.
