Read To Learn

In this unit we have talked about the importance of creating an environment in the classroom and school that is a positive one for you and the learners. Behaviour for Learning (B4L) brings benefits to the whole school community, helping teachers and learners to work together in a more focused way to understand the challenges being faced, find ways to address them and achieve more, in a more peaceful, less stressful atmosphere. 

One tool that helps build respect and trust between the teachers and learners is a Classroom Contract.  This is an important foundation of Ready to Learn: Education for Positive Peace because it acknowledges that teachers and learners are all people who deserve respect and who can contribute positively to a happy, healthy, learning environment, where everyone can thrive and do their best. A Classroom Contract is just one tool we can use on this journey. Perhaps you can think of, and share, some other ideas too; we would love to hear from you about this!
