Thank you for leaning in and listening to episode 9 of CALM Conversations about Learning!

This episode wraps up the Agenda pillar with THREE strategies that you can use to make  the learning agenda a WITH-able experience for your child or students. 

Conversation Points: 

The Agenda is a ritual that fosters trust, which leads to autonomy, audacity and accountability. 

A clear and concise  Agenda allows our learners to take more risks in their work, ask more questions, and collaborate more productively. 

But a concise and clear Agenda that has input from your child or students encourages them to take responsibility for and become more engaged with their work. 

So, here are my 3 tips for creating WITHable opportunities in planning the learning agenda- and remember, these tips can be modified for your use, whether you’re in the classroom or managing your child’s learning at home:

• TIP #1: Keep your agenda short and sweet.
• TIP #2: Always include a Restorative Starter Ritual.
• TIP #3: Remix and Stir for improved teaching and learning.

Visionary Homework:
Plan an agenda WITH your child or students that includes no more than 3 items-one of which could easily be remixed and stirred for improved teaching and learning and a Restorative Starter ritual- like 2 minutes of sitting still and quiet! 

I would LOVE to know what was on your WITH-able agenda- or help out if you could use some more ideas, so DM me on the INSTAGRAM @zenani116!
