Language is one of a teacher’s most powerful teaching tools. With this multimedia kit, teachers learn how to harness the power of positive teacher language to help children feel safe, respected, appreciated, and excited about learning.

Following the same structure as our award-winning Morning Meeting Professional Development Kit, this new kit contains everything your facilitator needs to conduct eight highly effective, school-based study sessions using The Power of Our Words as the core text. Participants will:

• Participate in structured discussions on The Power of Our Words
• See and hear teachers using positive language in varied classroom settings
• Discuss and reflect on new learning
• Plan how to introduce more positive language into their own daily teaching
• Reflect on their implementation of positive teacher language
