It’s time to start considering which students need relationships to start next year. How will your school manage that transfer of relationship? This action is about setting kids up to experience success quickly next—as well as their teacher/s! #BISTon@OurCornerstones
Behavior improves when students:
- Feel connected to the teacher, one another, & the curriculum.
- Believe success is possible.
- Feel respected.
- Are given responsibility.
- Look forward to allowed moments of joy & laughter each day.
What did I miss?
#teachers#thatonekid
Student is exhausted from helping out at home and taking care of siblings. Didn't do the assignment. Didn't do well on the test because they were tired/hungry/stressed. Were they irresponsible?
Some students leave school everyday defeated and deflated. They rarely experience success. But when we find ways to include their talents/ strengths in lessons they can experience success. What a difference that makes!
