This year’s Substitute Teachers’ Conference will be held at the Acclaim Hotel by Clique Calgary Airport on October 16-17, 2026. For more information and to register, click here.
In this session, we will focus on building connections and shaping a space where students feel safe, respected and ready to learn. We will explore practical strategies for fostering positive relationships and maintaining a classroom environment that balances warmth with structure. Designed to be flexible across grade levels and teaching contexts (including substitute teaching assignments), these approaches will help you respond effectively to challenges and create the kind of environment where both you and your students can thrive.
