Being the Educator Your Scholars Need (1HR Keynote)
This session will inspire your staff to be the educators they always needed! Filled with tons of SEL (social-emotional learning) restorative justice, and trauma-informed talking points, Reed will help educators re-discover their WHY of teaching, and will emphasize the importance of building and maintaining positive relationships with scholars, both in and outside of the classroom. Each participant will leave with dozens of practical, relationship-building strategies which can immediately be implemented in their classroom.
Relationship-Building 101: How To Create Relationships (1HR Keynote)
This session provides educators with SIX foundational principles to establish positive, sustainable relationships with students and their families. Each practical principle in this course comes with a multi-pronged approach to implementation, considering the fact that every educator works under unique circumstances, and has particular needs that must be met. Each participant will leave knowing precisely HOW to effectively engage with the students, families, and the greater community they serve, and WHY this practice is so essential.
