Starting today, I need to forget what’s gone, appreciate what still remains and look forward to what’s coming next. -Unknown

Showing empathy, compassion & patience to students doesn't mean you are soft & weak.

In fact, far from it.

It means you are strong enough to care who they are today & who they’ll become tomorrow.

Constructive feedback hurts. It hits you in the gut and knocks the air out of you.

It doesn’t just feel personal, it is personal.

Remember though, if someone is willing to take the time to provide you honest, timely, and actionable feedback, they care about you.

Love this! 🧡

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Absolutely! 🙌

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Give someone a second chance today.

Assume they had good intentions.

Believe in their ability to do better.

It’s that easy to make a positive difference in someone’s life.

Unfortunately we revert to deficit thinking when it comes to people. What their weaknesses are, what their mistakes have been and what they are lacking. This is just one more example.

Allowing a student to retake an assessment for full credit says to the student you believe in them and their ability to do better.

It says your learning is my goal.
