How do you create an environment where students feel respected, appreciated and cared for? This week I have met with several teachers and many of the conversations have had a common theme; teacher student relationships. There were some conversations where teachers expressed frustration with student behavior. Yes this happens. Students sometimes don't meet our expectations or behave in a way that can be frustrating. When this happens, how do we respond? Are we able to take a step back and deal with the behavior, or do we struggle to separate the behavior from the student? If we address the issue with the focus on the student rather than the behavior we can negatively impact our relationship. Tonight is about ways we can build a positive learning environment for our students. Join the conversation and share your strategies for making your classroom a safe space for students.
