At the core of any shift in mindset, is the culture of empowerment that starts in a classroom. It is what happens daily and consistently that plants the seeds of the I CAN MINDSET.
Our empowered CLASSROOM CULTURE OFFERING is a core set of processes that intentionally builds a culture of Relevance, Relationships and Rigor in the classroom through the tool of Co-creation.

PROCESSES

Conglom
Conglom
Conglom is an opportunity for students and teachers of each class to come together first thing in the morning to start the day on a positive note. This is a time for learners to share feelings, opinions and ideas. The teacher and students facilitate the interaction so that each thought is respected and valued. The atmosphere that is created is one of trust and community amongst the group. This creates a safe environment, ultimately leading to student well-being.

Agenda Setting & CTL
Agenda Setting & CTL
Agenda Setting is a powerful routine that uses the pedagogy of co-creation to invite the voice of the child in the design of the day – be it with the learning expectations or with spontaneous moments that might emerge. When the Agenda is made visible and co-created, it builds a sense of ownership and well-being. The process allows for collaboration as the teachers and students plan together and students have a choice and voice in allocating the agendas.
Closing the Loop occurs at the end of a session / day / month / year. There is a sense of accomplishment of all that has been done, and reflection on how and what was learned and now to refine it if needed.

Board Protocol
Board Protocol
The design of the board prompts the teacher to explicitly articulate and make visible how each lesson is designed to catalyse Relevance, Rigor & Relationship.
Our teaching board now acts as our conscience. It anchors not just the lesson plan but also serves as a visual cue that reminds us to intentionally notice the learner. By responding to the various sections on the board, students become active participants in the lesson and not just passive listeners.
Teachers are able to easily save their board work to share their practice with peers as well as the school leaders, thus creating a measure of accountability and credibility.
SKILL WORKSHOPS

Surplus
Surplus
Surplus is a simple mindful process through which children, teachers and all support team members add value to the ecosystem. There are multiple opportunities in each day (the bus ride, the lunch time, the bathrooms, the time between sessions, etc.) to leave the world a little bit more, just a little bit more beautiful and a little bit more kind - and the Surplus process is designed to help all stakeholders be more observant and more intentional.
