As educators, we are wired to look for the successes. We watch, measure, and celebrate our students’ successes, big and small. Small academic achievements, positive behavioral changes, and social triumphs bring us pride, joy, and fulfillment. When our students don’t succeed, it causes sadness, worry, and of course pressure.
Listen carefully.
“As a new student from a neighboring community, Alisha came in quiet, reserved, and scared. She left confident and happy, with many friends.”
“Jeremy found a love of reading after being given the freedom to choose what, when, and where he read. By the end of the year he not only loved to read, he grew four reading levels!”
Students work hardest for teachers they like and respect. When I’m asked, “How do I get the students to like and respect me?” my immediate response is, “Like and respect them first.”
