Words That Shape Learning

Session Description

Teachers will explore how everyday interactions—comments, questions, redirections—can be reimagined to support social-emotional and cognitive growth. This track focuses on: Reframing language to promote cooperation, independence, and emotional safety. Using open-ended questions and growth language to promote thinking and problem-solving. Developing a personal interaction blueprint that guides communication in high-stress or teachable moments. Understanding the connection between tone, timing, and teacher-child relationships. Teachers will leave with tools to shift how they speak in the classroom and deepen their ability to guide, connect, and teach through conversation.
