Cultivating Strong Student Teacher Relationships - Hearing Teacher and Student Perspectives
Student-teacher relationships are an important piece to helping students feel good about their learning. This workshop will provide time to engage with each other around our individual practices and break down why it's so important to develop and foster these relationships. The instructors will share out student and teacher viewpoints from our research conducted this year and allow participants to reflect on the findings. Participants will walk away with useful insights to incorporate in their practice.
Presenters: Janani Nathan & Rachel Otty
Empowering Students to see Themselves in Curriculum
Curriculum should be, “windows out into the experiences of others, as well as mirrors of the student’s own reality.” The goal of this workshop is to integrate student identities into courses that have more prescribed curriculum. Given that many teachers are already doing this important work, this workshop is geared toward teachers at earlier stages of implementing culturally relevant curriculum and looking for ways for more student identities to be represented in their courses.

Everyone Belongs in the Room: Now, What Do They/We Need?

This workshop will provide attendees the opportunity to learn how to teach things (media literacy, social-emotional learning) in new ways and plan for incorporating model lessons or curriculum into their own classrooms.

"If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism."
The autism program at CRLS is growing quickly. Students will be accessing more electives and general education classes. These students are an integral part of the Cambridge community. Our goal is to help increase teacher confidence as they build relationships with students on the spectrum. We hope to share our expertise with other CRLS staff so they will feel more comfortable when students with autism are placed in their classes
