Student Risk Taking Essentials for the Secondary Classroom

The safety that precedes challenge is a necessary ingredient as students build confidence with high-rigor curriculum. Connection tactics will empower our learners to feel known and welcome in our spaces in order to take the risk of "throwing something out there to see if it sticks" without fearing the outcome. Empowerment strategies will be shared to equip students to blast through the ceilings they placed on themselves. The contagion that follows is such a powerful thing to witness and helps build a precious and warm community of learners: yourself included!
