🎙️ Welcome back to episode three of Season 2 of The Learning Curve Podcast ECSD! We're excited to have you with us today for a deep dive into the transformative power of positive reinforcement in learning environments. 🌱
In this episode, we'll share a personal story that illustrates how positive reinforcement can create a more positive and growth-oriented atmosphere in the classroom. 🌟
💭 Imagine a classroom where a challenging student's behavior was reshaped by shifting the focus from grades to feedback and one-on-one conferencing. Discover the profound impact this approach had on the student's learning journey and emotional regulation.
🙏 Join us in a moment of reflection and prayer as we seek guidance to explore the influence of positive reinforcement in our classrooms and foster meaningful connections with our students.
🌿 We also acknowledge Treaty 6, the traditional land of the Indigenous peoples and the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 4, and their enduring contributions to this land. With gratitude, we honor their wisdom and resilience.
🎙️ In today's episode, we embark on a journey through the neuroscience of Positive Learning Environments with Jennifer Espejo-Harasimiuk. 🧠
🗣️ Our special guest, Vince Bustamante, an instructional coach and curriculum content developer, offers valuable insights on assessment practices within a standards-based/outcomes-based framework.
🤔 In our "Mindset Matters" segment, Tracy Hlus-Ewaskiw leads a discussion on the powerful role of positive reinforcement in nurturing relationships, empathy, and self-awareness in our students.
📚 Alyson Gabucci takes us on a literary exploration of "Seen, Heard, Valued" by Lee Ann Jung, emphasizing the importance of supportive learning environments in our "Lit Literature" segment.
🌟 We hope today's episode inspires you to embrace positive reinforcement and create supportive learning environments for your students.
