If you've dreamt of building community in your classroom, but it feels impossible or overwhelming... you're in the right place. In today's episode, I had an incredible guest who guides and mentors teachers in the classroom and helps them build community. 

Donna is a full time tenure teacher at Vanier College. She has been teaching mentoring and supporting educators for more than 25 years. She is the founder of the Infinite Educator. A child care consulting firm that provides mentoring and customized workshops to support educators best practices. 

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • A classroom community isn't one where you have all the control. It's one where you give your students a voice too.
  • It's important to set the foundation for a classroom community from the very beginning of the school year.
  • You can create community, even with a more difficult class.
