I say it every year. It’s the the coolest thing I’ve seen that a school does for its students. Homecoming Friday at Pea Ridge! Black Light Pep Rally, Powder Puff Game, but most importantly TAILGATING all day! #GoHawks
5 tips for building class climate:
1) Talk to kids when they walk into class.
2) Learn 1 thing about each student.
3) Praise the class publicly and criticize students privately.
4) Apologize when needed.
5) Don’t take yourself too seriously.
How you feel about education and school is how your children feel. Your perception is their perception. Place value in the things you want your kids to value.
The legacy of a great teacher is not built in their lesson plan book… but in their conversations with students. The lessons are important… but the relationships are essential.
