The research about how important it is to develop our students’ social and emotional learning is growing daily. How our students feel in the classroom is a big contributor to their success.

We know that when students feel secure and valued:

• They form a deeper connection with you as their teacher / trusted adult
• They are more likely to be ready and open to learning
• Less conflict occurs in the classroom

Today, we chat about 7 things you can do as a teacher that will help your students feel seen and valued:

1. Greet students in the morning
2. Ask questions about them
3. Notice students strengths
4. Showcase learning
5. Appreciate them
6. Dedicate a lesson to celebrate each other 
7. Create a class tradition or ritual

We hope these suggestions help you and your students. We would love to hear from you if you have success!
