“Being a teacher is being asked to do the impossible year after year and our only solution is to show up every day and try our best.” #AbbottElementary 👏
Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name.
Be the adult who speaks to each student by name.
Everyone loves to hear their name.
Friendly back to school reminder:
When kids show up late for school, they still showed up. Thank them, not scold them.
“I’m happy you’re here" goes a very long way.
Relationships don’t just happen out of thin air – they take time! #SocialEmotionalLearning is one of the best ways to build #relationships with students. https://t.co/8iRG1EYsnz
Every chance you can, speak life and love into the lives of your scholars. Use every moment of downtime to express to them how much you value them. In the halls, after class, during lunch, etc. Those words add up. #RelationshipsMatter
It’s not “an isolated incident” if it keeps on happening
It’s not “a few bad apples” if it keeps on happening
It’s not “a problem under control” if it keeps on happening
And. This. Keeps. On. Happening.
