Creating an emotionally safe and affirming classroom culture

Neven Holland, MTR Class of 2015, wrote a piece for The Hechinger Report about how he creates a safe and supportive virtual classroom for his 4th-grade students. The article entitled, “TEACHER VOICE: My students will want to talk about Chadwick Boseman” was also shared in the Perspectives section of The Washington Post.

You can also glimpse into Mr. Holland’s non-virtual classroom from a previous year and see it for yourself.
