What are T&L (Teaching & Learning) Conversations?
T&L Conversations are small, informal, and guided conversations akin to a book or journal club. Participants come together virtually to discuss key impressions of the selected resource and reflect on how the themes explored in the resource relate to our lived experiences as educators. Join colleagues from Niagara, Mohawk, Fanshawe, Lambton, and St. Clair Colleges in a guided conversation to discuss your insights and reflections on the resource below.
Resource:
“Building a Thriving Classroom Community – Bond & Beyond” explores how integrating social and emotional learning (SEL) into our teaching practices can foster deeper student engagement, empathy, and inclusion. The authors share practical strategies for creating welcoming, connected learning environments, starting from day one and adaptable across all teaching modalities.
Let’s discuss:
- How do you build community in your classroom?
- What SEL practices have you found effective?
- What challenges do you face in fostering inclusion?
