In this two-day Solution Tree workshop, author Tony Reibel challenges educators to put the student before the score, the process before the product, and relationships before evaluation in order to accelerate learning for success. The Embracing Relational Teaching professional learning engagement explores and implements relational teaching practices to create a more supportive learning environment. Training sessions provide an interactive experience that explores key topics such as building relationships, promoting student voice and agency, integrating student-initiated action into instruction, and more. Participants will leave with high-impact tools, resources, and strategies to build strong, authentic relationships with their students that can positively impact their self-efficacy and close achievement gaps.
