So excited to hear from the incredible Rachel Labossiere about discussion strategies in the #homeec classroom! #thesa2016!

1st strategy: start with me! Help them feel comfortable & give them a chance to talk about themselves #thesa2016 Rachel Labossiere

"We want to get to a point where our students to come into our class and expect to talk" Rachel Labossiere #thesa2016

2nd strategy-facilitate low risk activities for students like sharing on plates as white boards with your group #thesa2016 Rachel Labossiere

Keynote takeway: Being autonomous does not mean isolation. We need autonomy & collaboration in our prof learning development #LearnFwd16

Feeling privileged and inspired to be surrounded by so many passionate educators at #LearnFwd16 with the THESA exec BC Teachers’ Federation #homeecteacher
