How do I create a positive learning environment? 

I build a positive rapport by:

• Using humor in the classroom
• Giving positive feedback on growth of each student
• Daily check-ins with students about school life and personal life
• Pastoral Care with students outside of school
  • Dinners
  • Movies
  • Shopping Trips
  • Karaoke
• Classroom climate checks
  • Exit tickets
  • Self reports
  • One on one conversations
• Gamification in the classroom
  • Warm up games
    • To foster collaboration, teamwork and positivity
  • Brain break games
  • Use of Classcraft as a classroom management system
