Checking in with learners, or taking the time to talk with individual learners about their experiences or goals, is important for fostering a positive classroom environment.
They can be made up of learners of varying skills and abilities, or may be based around learners who have similar strengths or interests, depending on the goals and outcomes, and can support learner Motivation.
Teachers can also be sure to praise young learners' effort, which can increase Motivation and persistence, and reduce learner concern about later errors.
Visual notetaking, or sketchnoting, is a process that allows learners to represent their ideas non-linguistically which supports English language learners and adult learners from varied cultural backgrounds.
Teaching adult learners how to systematically evaluate sources prepares them to navigate information in an increasingly complex, digital world.
When strengths-based teaching is applied through a lens of cultural awareness, educators can tap into learners' funds of knowledge and identities to create a positive environment where learners feel confident and empowered.
Giving learners the opportunity to explain their thinking process aloud helps them to solidify their comprehension, and move knowledge into their Long-term Memory.
A first step to supporting learners is truly understanding who they are.
