How can we support children to build up contribution and community?

This practical workshop will focus on the power of creating valued roles and relationships for all children within school settings. Cara will examine ways in which children can increase their contribution within their classrooms and the surrounding community.

Professionals who attend this workshop will have simple first steps in how to support children, with and without disabilities, to build community right where they are! The conversation will also include the consequences of what happens when support teams unintentionally get in the way of children connecting with their peers and the opportunities that surround them. Participants will learn to try not to pass that crayon!
