Definitely glad you're in! You add a lot to my PLN/and me! :)
A2 Students need to learn to trust us in order to take risks in learning.
We do! Who was your most inspiring teachar? (Q1)
Trust and relationships can be indicative of a school's culture, good or bad...Imerative for S's to have a great, trusting culture.
My first mentor always said we must care about our students' social, emotional and academic success - they must know this
A1. Bob brown from ainsworth hs. I took 4 yrs of PE He encouraged my dreams celebrated success long after I left hs. Great man!
It is the foundation. Not to be underestimated, taken for granted, or forgotten.
A2: Ss are unlikely to learn at their capabilities if there's no relationship developed. They need to trust us.
Thank you. Some days I wonder. Being a specialist - isolated - is difficult.
Right on! is key! https://t.co/zqVGmpGzRs
