Some educators are the “cool teacher” simply because they are naturally cool people. Their ability to connect well with students is not fake, forced, or phony, it’s just them.
Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.
Start giving people the same energy they give you. Either that or silence. The days of being overly nice and overly giving are over..it's time to be protective of your space now ..not everyone gets an invite.
