CALM-Keeper: 3 Ideas for Making the Agenda WITH-able

Thank you for leaning in and listening to episode 9 of CALM Conversations about Learning!This episode wraps up the Agenda pillar with THREE strategies that you can use to make  the learning agenda a WITH-able experience for your child or students. Conversation Points: The Agenda is a ritual that fosters trust, which leads to autonomy, audacity and accountability. A clear and concise  Agenda allows our learners to take more risks in their work, ask more questions, and collaborate more productively. But a concise and clear Agenda that has input from your child or students encourages them to take responsibility for and become more engaged with their work. So, here are my 3 tips for creating WITHable opportunities in planning the learning agenda- and remember, these tips can be modified for your use, whether you’re in the classroom or managing your child’s learning at home:TIP #1: Keep your agenda short and sweet.TIP #2: Always include a Restorative Starter Ritual.TIP #3: Remix and Stir for improved teaching and learning.Visionary Homework:Plan an agenda WITH your child or students that includes no more than 3 items-one of which could easily be remixed and stirred for improved teaching and learning and a Restorative Starter ritual- like 2 minutes of sitting still and quiet! I would LOVE to know what was on your WITH-able agenda- or help out if you could use some more ideas, so DM me on the INSTAGRAM @zenani116!CTA: Do the Podcast-Listener Thing: Follow.
