As teachers, we often try to build culture and foster a sense of belonging by seeking out the “right checklist” of games, ice breakers, fun warm-ups, and even classroom wall art. However, these are just the frosting, not the cake.
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Kari Adams from the University of Missouri to discuss the essential ingredients for creating a genuine classroom culture.
Dr. Adams joined me in my home studio, allowing for an excellently paced discussion. In our conversation, we discuss why “ice breakers are not enough,” the concept of vulnerability for teachers and how it is often misunderstood or misused, effective teacher verbiage and word choices, action-oriented feedback, and brainstorming stories and ideas that illustrate how teachers can build developmentally appropriate, authentic, and individualized relationships with students, even in a group setting.
