CREATING A CULTURE FOR KIDS TO THRIVE

This upbeat and interactive presentation helps Teachers, Caregivers, and Youth Workers to think through their role in creating a climate that engages youth in a meaningful way. Youth who know they have a caring adult looking out for them are more likely to succeed in school and less likely to be involved in crime, drugs, and gangs. But how do we ensure that every child in our classroom feels “felt” and seen by us? How do we create caring classrooms where kids are engaged? This presentation will give youth workers practical strategies to help youth feel welcome and celebrated.  Overall, it is a passionate plea for teachers and caregivers to see the powerful role they play in shaping the lives of kids.
