Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

[Jackie Van Orden @PrincipalJVO]

It’s ALWAYS about the goal… and it’s always about cultivating relationships to make a difference!

[Jackie Van Orden @PrincipalJVO]

My first class I taught was 25 years ago and they are now 37 years old. Some of my prior students still keep in contact - Building relationships will ALWAYS matter!

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Welcoming your students to class doesn't just set the tone for the day, but sets the tone for the relationships you build. They feel like you want them there.
