How do you make students feel secure? As I thought about this the first thing was to establish school policies and rules but when doing so keep in mind ALL students. Staff and students should be approachable and open minded. Schools should provide CRE training for staff and families. The involvement of families and community organizations is very important. When kids and families feel safe they are more likely to open up and have the courageous conversations.
If students are proud and comfortable enough to share with one another, then conversations will occur. It is our responsibility to promote and foster that. I connect this to the literature used in classrooms too. As discussed in week 1 it is an important tool we as educators can use!
