Build a culture of trustA strong classroom culture is the foundation for deep learning. When students trust their teacher and each other, they feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and challenge themselves. Without this foundation, academic and social progress can be hindered, making routines, rituals, and relationships critical elements in any classroom setting.

Spark student engagementIntentional rituals and routines create an environment where students are not only engaged but also motivated to contribute meaningfully to their learning community. They are more likely to collaborate, stay focused, and demonstrate a commitment to their own progress.
