How you treat your most difficult student communicates something powerful to every other student in your class.
If you treat that one student with your full patience, dignity, and respect, the others will know they can trust you too. #edchat#FutureDriven
Students,
Never believe that Good Grades are all you need. More importantly you need:
🏫A Personality
🏫A Work Ethic
🏫 Kindness
🏫 A Desire to Serve
🏫 The ability to cope with bad days
🏫 A Love of Learning
🏫 Wisdom

There’s nothing to lose by giving a #student a second chance.
Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
There’s only the possibility of strengthening a #relationship, demonstrating the power of #empathy, and instilling a glimmer of hopeful recovery.
Make it a priority to greet every student every day. Make eye contact. Give high fives and fist bumps. Call students by name. Your efforts to connect and build relationships will lead to better engagement and better learning. #edchat#FutureDriven

Making positive calls home, but the mom doesn't speak English. Asked the young man (7th gr) if he'd call her & tell her in Spanish whatever I said in Eng. He agreed. He BEAMED as he translated my words. End of conversation w/ her, "Gracias. I love you, too." #RememberingMyWhy
