Do you recall being told “sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you?” We all know this is NOT TRUE! A teacher's words can be tools of torture or vehicles of encouragement and hope. Using positive language in the classroom can have an incredible impact on student learning and development. Through a review of evidence-based practices and neuroscience discoveries, participants will gain skills in boosting motivation, maximizing engagement, and building positive relationships with students. This highly engaging session will include short lectures, group discussions, and structured experiences to equip participants to use positive language to promote classroom and school success. Participants will leave the session reinvigorated and excited to use what they’ve learned.
