In this session we will discuss how allowing students to communicate help them form connections in the classroom and at school.

We will look at methods of communication you can use with your students using a culturally responsive, trauma informed, and restorative lense. This session works around a project done in a district wide PLC last school year where teachers explored problems of practice in our classroom settings.
