Experiencing belonging in school is central to a child’s healthy identity development, learning progress, and ability to thrive. This workshop will support teachers in their personal identity and inclusivity work, and it will provide direct applications for creating belonging in their classrooms. In this workshop, participants will explore why this work is essential as an early childhood educator, strategies they can use in their own spaces, and ways to make deeper connections within their classroom community. Exploring four key concepts of identity, empowerment, advocacy, and community, as well as practical activities, participants will leave with actionable ideas to incorporate into their teaching strategies and approaches.
