Be a Champion for Students
I am somebody, I was somebody when I came, and I will be a better somebody when I leave. I am powerful, and I am strong. I deserve the education that I get here. I have things to do people to impress and places to go!
Leave a Legacy of Relationship
Teaching and learning should bring joy!
Get to know your students
- Learn students names quickly
- Greet students (i.e., on-campus, in-class, between class...)
- Schedule 1-on-1 meetings with students as often as you can.
Develop an interest in your students
- Ask students questions about themselves, their interests, families, etc.
- Find ways to incorporate student interest in conversation and lessons.
