Setting the Tone: Habits for a Smooth Virtual Learning Experience
By anahomayoun
UnlistedWe know the only constant this school year is change. In this pragmatic, solutions-oriented talk, noted Ana Homayoun will examine how setting students up socially, emotionally and academically in the midst of pandemic pivoting and change is key to long-term well-being and engagement. She will also discuss how taking the time to set the tone for a smoother school year means looking at daily and weekly habits that work for your students and your family.
Within this year of transition, our overarching goals of finding ways to promote autonomy, competence and a sense of relatedness and belonging - which research reveals are the key foundational tools to building intrinsic motivation - remain critical for this year and beyond.
Thank you to the Safe Community Coalition for their sponsorship of this talk. The talk will be about 35-40 minutes, with time for Q&A. The replay will be available for two weeks after the live broadcast those who register.
