The real secret to effective management in the classroom is creating personal relationships with each student. Listen to students, understand their situation, and make decisions based on their perspective. It’s the key to preventing #ThatOneKid from disrupting learning.

Stay personally connected to kids without taking personally what they do & say. It’s not about you. It’s about 10 (or more) things going on in their world. They take it out on us bc we are often the 1st ones they see, but it’s not about you. #thatonekid
