@mrraffel A3. I want to start improving relationships with my students by attending after-school sports activities, I want them to know that I am interested and care about their hobbies.#D54Bridges
@mrraffel A2. With my students, I like to do partner work to help them build relationships with their peers, which helps them work as a team throughout the year.
@mrraffel A1. My experience as a student has inspired me to be a teacher that promotes a positive attitude and looks at the positive in all situations. #D54Bridges
@mrraffel A4.our school community can promote social bonding by hosting family activities with staff involvement. Also having team building activities for staff that would help with camaraderie. #D54bridges
@mrraffel A3. My experiences have enlightened me by allowing me to give myself grace when feeling overwhelmed and to recognize it in my students and allow them the same grace and be more empathic towards their challenges. #D54bridges
@mrraffel Q2. recommend to the student that I see them struggling in the hopes that it opens up a conversation, then we talk about possible strategies they can use to solve their problem.I also have visual cards with possible strategies they could use to help them be independent. #D54brid
@mrraffel Q1. I like to call home in front of student and be present when I give parents the good news about their child. I think that this really helps students feel proud and stay motivated. #D54bridged
@mrraffel I like to keep my students motivated with positive reinforcement, calling home and letting parents know about the amazing things their child is doing in the classroom. I also like to give extra free time for students that are really showing progress.
@mrraffel A3. Never stop being a student! I love to share new things I learn with my students and my excitement about it encourages them to do the same.#D54Bridges
@mrraffel I try and connect with my at-risk students in smaller group settings, and make sure I'm doing more listening than talking. In reading, I try and find literature that they can connect to as well and make connections with. #54Bridges
@mrraffel A1. Our team teaches interesting and engaging topics for our grade-level students while incorporating new ideas and life experiences relevant to the learner. #d54Bridges
@mrraffel A4. One way we build strong communities in our classroom is by being supportive of our differences and by learning from each other. When we make mistakes we own it and learn from them, without criticizing one another. #D54bridges
@mrraffel A2. A positive school climate not only creates a great working environment for staff but it is also felt by our students. Set a good example especially for our at risk kiddos. Kindness is contagious
@mrraffel@DrDonParker1 A1. A couple aspects that could improve our schools environment would be to have teachers collaborate with other teachers on projects in the classroom. I think this would also be a great way to get to know other students in the building
