Relational Inclusivity in the Elementary Classroom cover

Learn how to support and encourage the development of strong, nurturing relationships among your students of all neurotypes and needs with this practical, field-tested guide. Featuring classroom lessons, group activities, and a toolkit for creating social network maps specific to your classroom, this book shows teachers how to easily implement inclusive practices into their daily school routines. The book is anchored within a Research Practice Partnership that demonstrates how teachers can use simple research tools to gather real-time information about student relationships in their classrooms. Teachers can use this data to organize student groupings and plan classroom activities that support relational inclusivity. Moving beyond transactional approaches, like behavioral regulation and rule setting, this book prioritizes relationship building as vital to fostering inclusive classroom communities. It is key reading for in-service educators striving to create the kind of learning environment that meets the socio-emotional needs of all learners. Pre-service educators, educational researchers, and administrators can also use this helpful resource to support ongoing professional development that prioritizes a student’s sense of belonging and social emotional development in school.
