Choice Words: How Our Language Effects Children’s Learning

Presented By: Kelly Quackenbush and Lauren Wilson
Target Audience: All Staff
In productive classrooms as well as productive relationships with families, we do more than teach skills: we build healthy
learning communities. Choice Words explains how we can accomplish this using our most powerful tool: Language. Through
language, we can enable students and families to become strategic thinkers while encouraging them to view the world, their
peers and themselves in new ways.
