Teaching isn’t easy. It’s freakin’ exhausting. And it’s emotionally draining when you take on the baggage that so many students bring. I’m glad our teachers have a weekend. I know it will mean grading papers and planning for many... but hopefully it is still a break.
Regular school attendance is essential for student learning to take place. January through March is a key time for learning as there are not many scheduled days off. Create positive school conversation with your child and monitor their attendance.
I have found that the more I greet students in the hallway, the more they make eye contact with me... and the more they initiate a greeting with me the next day.
It’s usually not hard to make connections with kids... but the adults need to be willing to take the first step.
To gain and develop students’ trust and respect, teach with HEART:
—Honor students time, talents, and interests.
—Engage students on their level.
—Accept student differences.
—Radiate eagerness to teach students.
—Telegraph that learning is fun.
