    A1: We have a lunch buddy program that started out with only 2 student volunteers. 5 years later we had over 50 lunch buddies. It was such a great experience to see students make these connections and truly become friends! #122edchat #culturize
  • _on11 - Moderator Jun 27 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1: Every day. We fight for those that do not have the power or ability to fight for themselves. We see the end value and struggle, relentlessly, to take these students to the higher ground. When they fix their eyes on what can be, it's magical. #122edchat
  • CristinaDajero Jun 27 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1: This year, a S that wasn't very confident about her reading abilities needed a buddy, I was blessed to become that for her through lunch bunches, hello each morning & goodbye each afternoon, whenever she was having a rough time, she would come looking for me. #122edchat

    A1 Many small moments: when a kid needs services or help and you push to get them, they need clothes & you buy them, they’re new to diabetes & you feed them, they need someone to talk with & you open your door at lunch to them… Do what needs to be done. #122edchat #culturize

  • MillerMathSMS Jun 27 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A3: Respect them. Hold them to high expectations. BE REAL & BE THERE! The first few days of school are crucial to building that relationship.. but you need to always be invested in them throughout the year too! #122edchat #Culturize
  • CristinaDajero Jun 27 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A3: Meaningful relationships are developed through making time to listen & support them in anyway they need. This can happen during lunch bunches, time-out conversations, stopping by to check-in, greetings in the hallway. It's all about showing that you care. #122edchat
  • mrs_norkus247 Jun 27 @ 8:17 PM EDT

    This year, as Ss walked off the stage at 5th grade promotion, I had several Ss stop by, give me a hug and say a few words. There weren't enough tissues to dry up my eyes. I was so proud of all of their hard work, many came such a long way! #122edchat

    I make sure to listen, not just hear what Ss are saying to me. I think they can feel the genuine care I have for them (besides the fact I tell them all the time). Sometimes it takes longer than others, but I keep moving forward building that relationship! #122edchat

    #122edchat A3-I usually establish a relationship with a smile and making them laugh. Ss are usually afraid of me just because i'm one of the first male teachers they have had by the time 7th grade comes around. So, I feel its necessary to be ultra nice and disarm them.

    A4 With those who are reluctant to engage, I have tried to engage them, and then given them their space. Then I try again sometime later. Sometimes Ss just want you to show them that you care enough to try again after you have originally failed to connect. #122edchat #culturize
  • MrsNealy23 Jun 27 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A3: I talk to my students! I love sharing information with them and getting to know them. This helps establish trust. I also let them know that our classroom is a safe place and they feel comfortable coming to me with anything. #122edchat

  • coachbickford Jun 27 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    #122edchat A4 I give them time and space. They know you care when you aren’t hovering. Sometimes I ask them if they want to talk yet. I let them know it doesn’t have to be right now. The key is to ask again later. Immediate discipline seems can go wrong #122edchat #culturize
  • asheilalou1 Jun 27 @ 8:24 PM EDT

    A4) I choose a long term drawn out process. Some kids just need slow relationship building. I am not going to "force" engagement. #122edchat
  • KristenSevinsky Jun 27 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A4: sit down next to them and just talk with them, not about learning. Talk about something else. Give them time to breathe but still hold them accountable in the long run. Learning needs to happen just not when we want it. Don’t get on them about silly stuff. #122edchat
  • Flood1Tracy Jun 27 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    A5: We started a Parent Involvement Team mid-year last year and that was a start, but we also want to find opportunities for our parents to meet with one another and build relationships. #122edchat #Culturize
  • Esolleap Jun 27 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    A4. Get to know the reason behind why the student isn’t engaged. Always use it as an opportunity to build the relationship #122edchat #culturize
  • ChristinaAronen Jun 27 @ 8:25 PM EDT
    A4: As the principal, I have a luxury of taking a S from their environment and trying a new one. Also, sometimes, giving Ss a voice to choose how they do a project will change their interest level and engagement. Who didn't live Choose Your own Adventure? #122edchat #Culturize
  • bmilla84 Jun 27 @ 8:25 PM EDT

    A5.1: With Ss, being present, always, is key. Knowing their interests + activities helps to foster authentic relationships. Being aware of changes of affect, tone, words spoken; it's the little things that make all the difference. I love my morning duty "blue square". #122edchat

    A1: A student was far behind in rdg and writing I made him a promise to fight for him. We had before and after school sessions to get him where he needed to be. I think the boost in his confidence made all the differences #122edchat #Culturize
  • Fight4Mizzou Jun 27 @ 8:26 PM EDT
    A4: Time, time, and more time. I don’t mind waiting or outlasting. A little empathy goes a long way in these situations too. Genuinely connecting with the student helps build trust and can help facilitate that conversation. #122edchat

  • CristinaDajero Jun 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    A5: Show up to events inside & outside of school. Maintain open forms of communication with families. Make contact with home to share "glows and grows." Be transparent and ask for their input as well as share your observations and concerns. #122edchat
  • _on11 - Moderator Jun 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    A5.2: With families, I tell them what I would want to hear as a dad. I tell them the truth - that their kids are amazing and doing incredible things. If needed, I work in growth edges, but establishing that you handle their "babies" with care is a must. #122edchat
  • PHausTech Jun 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT

  • MrsNealy23 Jun 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    A4: This is when I work harder to connect with them. I make a point to greet these students and find out how their day is going. I do this everyday until the S begins to open up. I let them know that I won’t give up. #122edchat

  • AshdownMayfield Jun 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A4: I encourage participation and engagement, but want to know what is going on. I encourage Ss to take risks and at times fail. It is important for them to know that they do not always have the answers. They might not yet have a full understanding yet. #122edchat #Culturize

  • LindaEdwardsi Jun 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A4 I try to encourage those that aren't engaged. Frequent check ins, sit with them to get them started. Offer different choices in how they respond. One of these strategies usually works #122edchat
  • Eric_Carlin Jun 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A5: Conversations can happen daily. Sometimes it comes during the wait at a car rider line or as when you see them outside of school at the grocery store! Take the time and be intentional. #122edchat
  • MsJ_Rod_P Jun 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A2: I learned that kids just need support and the belief that someone’s got their back. What I’d do differently? Work on relationships first.. the changes would have happened faster 😉 #122edchat #Culturize

    A4: Privately ask them questions- “Do you know what you are supposed to be working on? Was I not clear enough in my explanation?” Etc. If the resilience continues I ask them how they’re doing or is anything going on that they would like to share w me. #122edchat #Culturize

    A5: It's simple if you carry conversations. During morning duty, car rider line, lunch visits, etc. It can even be whenever you bump into them out of school. That's always fun. They get to see another side. #122edchat #Culturize

    #122edchat A1: This year I had an ELL who grew an incredible amount. Pushed & encouraged this student and developed an amazing bond with them. End of year, this student wrote me a sweet letter that made me cry happy tears. Also made tons of leaps & bounds in terms of growth.
  • kaitannettep Jun 27 @ 8:37 PM EDT
    A2: #122edchat - All kids are capable of amazing things when given confidence. It showed me how powerful a positive relationship can be.

    A3: #122edchat - Taking time to get to know students has helped me develop bonds with them. During work time, I sit at the horseshoe table & kids are welcome to join. They are good about taking turns & they can sit and chat with me while they work.

    #122edchat A5 Invest in your students by going to special events for them (current Ss and even past), spend time building friendships with your colleagues outside of school @CaldwellElemen #122edchat #culturize @cobemaldonado99
  • buckmathematics Jun 27 @ 8:40 PM EDT
    A5: I talk to kids about things that aren’t specific to curriculum including their interests. When kids stay after school I always walk them out and talk to their parents. I invite kids to my room during lunch to help them with work or just to get to know them better #122edchat

    A3 - As many have said, it must start on Day 1. It’s usually the simple things that matter. Also, kids and teens always know when you are sincere. You can’t fake liking students. #122edchat
  • GEagen1 Jun 27 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    A1: #122edchat #culturize I had a student who was a huge behavior struggle. I looked at his file, spoke with parents, spoke with student. Realized his behavior was a result of his situation. He changed when he saw me taking the time to help him. Was one of my favorite.

    A2: #122edchat #Culturize I realized that it's student struggle is due to situation and it is never a behavior issue. It's their way of asking for help.
  • noel_hoffmann Jun 27 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    Aack!! Got called away and missed most of the chat. :( I will try again next time. #122edchat
  • GEagen1 Jun 27 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    A3: #122edchat #Culturize I make sure to take the time to listen to them when they speak and actually taking in interest in what they are saying. Also, providing them with support and positivity.
