If you want to succeed with a difficult kid…you have to separate the attitude from the student. You don’t lower your standards, but you understand that there is always something motivating the behavior. Understanding leads to empathy… and empathy makes a relationship possible.
I don’t know if I’m a great teacher. Often, I don’t even think I’m a good teacher. What I do know is that my students know they are loved and with that, we can make anything happen! #WhyITeach#WorldTeachersDay2018
Who wants to help raise $2 million for schools? I love helping schools, and I love Verizon Innovative Learning for doing this. #ThanksSponsor https://t.co/RcZdmAWlab
Teacher,
You’re tired.
It feels like your kindness keeps getting taken for granted.
It seems as if your students rarely notice the little things you do.
And that one parent is always angry with you.
I get it. I see you. But please, keep fighting! We need you. Thank you.
