Introduction

 

When students feel safe in an environment, they feel empowered to take risks in their learning and hence become more confident in sharing their ideas. Same goes for teachers! When we have an open and safe space to learn, we are then able to take risks and challenge ourselves and we relay that attitude into our classrooms through our lessons. Here are a few things you can do to become a risk taker, problem solver and someone who enjoys and is passionate about math. 

How Will You Create a Safe Learning Environment?

Getting to know your staff, just like we do with our students. You showing that you care will help them be successful and motivated. Be responsive to the particular social and cultural contexts. Just like we give students choice in the classroom, we need to do the same for teachers. Incorporate teacher voice and feedback in decision making. They are the key to student success.
