    Teaching Relationally: Building Community and Connection in Our Classrooms

    Saturday, August 5 12-2 in America South of the Westin Hotel

    This PDW on Teaching Relationally is designed as an immersive experience in creating and implementing classroom practices with an ethic of care. Drawing from a variety of relational theories, we invite participants to experience and learn small moves to engage each other in and beyond the classroom in ways that foster flourishing and growth, while also acknowledging the deeper social and systemic roots of interactions in class. We welcome six skilled teacher-researchers who will demonstrate a variety of ways to incorporate relational practices in our teaching in order to build a relationship-centric classroom. 

    Our aim is to inspire experimentation and optimism about how small changes in our teaching practices can seed connections that enliven classroom learning and deliver positive outcomes for all. By making these practices visible, demonstrable, and discussable, as well as embodily experienced, we seek to strengthen our community of practice and expand our imagination of how to teach relationally. Our aim is for attendees to leave feeling more connected, cared for and inspired themselves, and thereby enabled to experiment and institutionalize efforts to create their own relationship-centric classroom.
