Creating Belonging in The Classroom
A practical guide to having difficult conversations, overcoming biases and challenging stereotypes to make your secondary classroom a safe space for all.
Now, more than ever, we need to have brave and even uncomfortable conversations to address the unspoken topics in what should be one of the safest spaces for children: the classroom. But how do we create classrooms where teachers and students can have brave conversations? How do we create classroom environments where every student feels valued and safe? How do we hold the difficult conversations none of us really want to have, but our students need us to engage with?
Drawing on real-life examples, Chowdhury answers these questions in a clear, digestible, and insightful manner. Creating Belonging in the Classroom provides practical examples of what belonging, allyship and inclusion really is and gives teachers the tools to create more inclusive secondary-level classrooms.
