Mini-Moments of Magic: Small Shifts for a Joyful Classroom Community
Thursday July 16, 2026 9:55am - 10:50am EDT

We will create a “toolkit for belonging” of micro-shifts that fit into the transitions, morning meetings, and even the rigorous academic blocks you are already teaching.  Join us to rediscover the spark that brought you to education and generate ideas on how to build a classroom community that feels like a destination, not just a requirement.
