What is this buzzword ‘community?’.  Why is it so important for students to have a space to share stuff, have their opinions heard, feel valued, feel slsafe enough to give you feedback (oh yes, that’s part of it!)?

In the third installment of Cornerstones of Learning, I share the benefits of building a community in your classes and I share a bonus activity to get the ball rolling.  Remember, it’s a process and needs to be worked on constantly.  Ice breakers at the start of term isn’t enough!

Don’t forget to stay tuned until the end of the episode for your weekly challenge.
