In This Vlog with Sarah Brown Wessling:

Culture is'’t something I can dictate, but I can influence and lead. In order to create the trust and security necessary to help a student engage in an experience, there are some questions I need to ask:

  • What do I want/need to know about my students now? How will I get to know them in those first days?
  • How will this impact my planning?

Your Turn:

1. I love our video series on Deeper Learning, which always helps me see a learning culture being lived by students and the entire school. Choose one or two of these videos and try to describe the culture, then see if you can pinpoint how that culture seems to have been created. Post your observations below.

2. Check out my blog post, "14 Ways to Cultivate Classroom Chemistry."

3.  Read our most recent #TchLIVE chat archive. It was all about building classroom culture.
