Teaching Practices for Building Community & Explicit Expectations

Curated by: Kara Alhadeff

What: Teaching Channel published a webinar that highlights effective strategies to create positive classroom communities during online learning. In this resource you see educators applying effective strategies during synchronous Zoom classes. 

Why: Distance Learning is a new setting for many of us. As a result, I wanted to find and share a resource that “cuts through the noise” and models effective teaching through Zoom. This Teaching Channel video is rooted in core principles from Teach Like a Champion and can be used for planning your next lesson, professional development, and coaching conversations.

How: The table below provides a direct link to the learning video. Next to the link you will notice the themes of learning that are addressed in the video. The most exciting part of this resource is to see the strategies in action during synchronous Zoom classes. To help cut through the noise, I listed the provided strategies with timestamps, so that you can quickly locate and learn! Many of these strategies are teaching practices that can be applied the next day!
