Before you lower your expectations of a student, build an even stronger relationship first and watch them rise to meet them.

Educators and leaders, please don't "not" talk about what happened yesterday. Provide a safe space for our students to discuss it, the historical significance, and what to do next. We can't be silent, sweep it under the rug, or pretend they didn't see it.

Be careful class rules are never more important than relationships. More can be accomplished through a relationship than a rule could ever hope to achieve. When you make effort to connect, it makes it much easier to direct & correct. #HackingSchoolDiscipline -@davidgeurin

Remember that they are still kids. They may drive you nuts sometimes, but they are the reason we do what we do. #kidsdeserveit #behaviorflip

A lot of times it's not the content...it's the things getting in the way of a child socially, emotionally, behaviorally, etc. If we want successful students, we need to work on skills to help overcome non-academic barriers. #behaviorflip #SEL

Relationships with kids don't happen over night. With your most challenging students, it can take a long time. It is hard, it is disappointing at times, but only persistence will yield success. A child needs to see that you aren't giving up on them. #relationships #teachergoals

When the adults in a #school acknowledge & greet each other kindly & genuinely, it’s a clear modeling & example for #students to do the same to their fellow classmates. This is #culture building one salutation at a time. #edchat #education
