Powerful Student Care: Honoring Each Learner as Distinctive & Irreplaceable

What would it mean if we were to eliminate the alienation so many students experience in school every day? What would we want students to believe about themselves and their peers? Powerful Student Care is a humanizing approach to education that challenges practices and structures that demoralize and dehumanize us and our students. In this session, we will explore together how we can welcome each student unconditionally, honor their innate human desire to do well, ensure they experience joy-filled learning, and help them cultivate self-efficacy and agency so that they believe they are both distinctive and irreplaceable.
