Developing a Democratic Classroom and a Democracy Stance One of the key challenges for educators is how to ensure inclusion of all learners in diverse classrooms. One effective way of providing an inclusive environment is by using cooperative learning strategies. When teachers utilize these strategies, a democracy stance (Vinterek 2010) emerges (Ferguson-Patrick 2014). Such classrooms use inclusive pedagogies that increase participation and decrease exclusion (Florian and Black-Hawkins 2011).

Secondary School Specialists - have you noticed that some members of staff are very aware that today is Friday? And not just for the usual reasons (phew!) but because they are planning to offer subtle additional support for pupils who may struggle at weekends. This is particularly true of some Form Tutors who will ensure that those pupils know that a warm greeting will be waiting on Monday morning. School leaders: is such awareness down to Form Tutor training, 'natural' empathy or experience? Is this the exception or the norm in your school?

We could go on and on expressing our gratitude for educators, so here's the short version. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ThankATeacher #TeacherLife #EducationMatters #TeacherAppreciation
