Affirmation, Identity, and Engagement: Helping Students S.O.A.R. in the Classroom and Beyond
LIMITED
Monday August 3, 2026 1:45pm - 3:45pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
How can we design learning experiences that cultivate student ownership, deepen critical thinking, and inspire agency? In this interactive workshop, we will explore the S.O.A.R. Model for Engagement as a framework for promoting motivation, inquiry, and student-centered learning. Together, we will examine practical strategies that shift students into active roles in their learning and consider the power of intentional affirmation in shaping identity and belonging. We will leave with concrete approaches to help students see themselves as capable, empowered learners—ready to contribute meaningfully within their classrooms, communities, and beyond.
