If there was ever time (there isn’t!) schools should try this:On a Friday afternoon each teacher plans out an activity,it might be sewing,crafts,painting,sport and the children through the school choose which learning they’d like to do for the afternoon. Mix of ages in each class
Signs of a positive School Culture
- The greeting by the front office staff
- The energy and positivity in the breakfast/early arrival area
- The way students are greeted when they enter class
- The principal is visible and knows students’ names #edchat
I started asking my 12 year old son ‘who did you help today?’ instead of asking ‘how was school?’.
He now starts his stories with ‘I held the door’, ‘helped a friend with math’, or ‘asked someone to sit with us at lunch’.
He now proactively shares how he was helpful at school.
Take time to build a positive classroom culture.
*relationships 1st
*every child belongs and valued
*identify their strengths/ passions
*establish routines, expectations, and procedures

Be kind. Say thank you. Hold the door open. Compliment as many people as you can. Point out the good and be the good. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Love, serve and care. The world needs more of this today!
Healthy self-esteem doesn’t come from trophies that are given. It comes from trophies that are earned. Telling kids they are great doesn’t build self-esteem. Want to build their confidence? Help them work hard, develop skill, overcome obstacles, and achieve something meaningful.
There’s a tremendous difference between teaching the curriculum and teaching children.
Some of us get stuck on the what, but it will always, always be the who first, the why next and then the what.
At least for me.
