ALT "I think one of the best pieces of pedagogical advice I can give to new teachers is this:
opportunities for students to surprise you.
Make space for them to be creative, take risks, laugh, mess up, and try again. Because they will, and it will be wonderful." - Dr. Mikki Brock, Associate Professor
"When I like the teacher, I want to do their work. And I'll be like, 'I can learn this.'" Students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn, research shows.
