These slides were developed for the National Education Union for a webinar in Spring 2024
Here’s the session overview:
Fostering Friendships: Enhancing Social Bonds in the Classroom
This session explores the myriad benefits of fostering strong peer relationships within educational settings and equips teachers and support staff with practical strategies to nurture these bonds among students. Understanding that friendships contribute significantly to a child’s sense of belonging, self-esteem, and academic success, we’ll provide educators with the tools to create an inclusive classroom atmosphere where every child feels connected and supported.
If you were there, I hope these are a helpful aide-memoire. If not, I hope they make enough sense without me to be useful. If you’d like to download them, you can do so via this page on slideshare.
