When I’m working to de-escalate a scholar, I calmly say, “Hey, I’m not yelling at you, cussing at you, angry with you, or hurting you, am I?”
If/When their response is, “No,” I then use that as my credibility in the convo, which goes towards our progress in that situation.
“If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.”
"When I like the teacher, I want to do their work. And I'll be like, 'I can learn this.'" Research shows that students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn. #HowLearningHappens
