Student emotions and behaviors are difficult to manage. Even more difficult when you are in the virtual world and potential dangers can be unseen. Learn tips and tools to build a safe online community while also addressing challenging behaviors. Engage, connect, and correct your students in a way that empowers them in virtual learning while also utilizing practices and tools to keep them safe.

Activities for all Ages

Age Appropriate Activities

As students move through developmental stages, they need activities that are challenging, engaging, and appropriate for their particular stage. As many of us transition into digital programming environments, being mindful of developmental stages can help you create an engaging environment for your students to learn and thrive. During this training, you will discover how to use different activities, materials, and practices to match the appropriate developmental level of students.
