Recommendations
1. A safe space for students to learn. When students feel safe and comfortable
while learning there is a huge increase in the improvement of their work and
relationship with others.
2. Getting to know each student. When you know the student not just for who
they are in the classroom but outside also, you can find the balance to get
them involved and feel like they belong in the classroom.
3. Engage in collaboration. Noone should be doing anything completely on their
own. When collaboration gets into the classroom there is huge change in the
classroom.
