While no educator likes to hear the word no; I believe that revising and rephrasing are effective methods for educators to hear no less often. As an educator, I have learned to say no without using the word no. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
Creating a welcoming environment is just one of several factors to ensure student success. I like the idea of having a fresh start everyday; an idea that I use in my classroom. This has helped the students to keep moving forward. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
All students need an advocate, and teachers need to be able to identify areas and students in need of advocates. Advocacy for students equates into student success and achievement. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
Creating opportunities to have fun at the school allows the students to be excited about going to school. Teachers that show the students how to have fun are able to build better relationships and create an environment where every student feels welcome. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
Teachers make significant impact in in the lives of students and it is important that we as educators use self-reflection to evaluate our impact on the students and their impacts on us. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
Creating a welcoming and caring environment is essential, as this provides the students with the necessary foundation to build relationships. Also, it is important to take opportunities to join students in activities outside of the classroom environment. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
While yes, is a word educators long to hear; a win-win compromise can be just as empowering and changing to the learning environment. A culture of noβs creates an environment that is not conducive for learning. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
By getting to know them and show that I will not give up on them. I try to greet everyone everyday and get to know them. A positive culture is imperative to a positive learning environment #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
I have learned that we cannot fully learn the fully story of any person in one setting; rather it is like a puzzle with many intricate pieces. I have shared my story with most of my students. It made me feel better, as this could motivate others #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
I believe in creating a safe a#nd supportive learning environment for all students. By wanting to make a difference in the lives of others. You have to establish healthy relationships prior to pursuing academics. #BeTheOne@RebekahVarvel
