Principal Brief
January 18-22
- Traditionalists- Set high expectations for students but gave little thought to developing relationships with their students.
- Sophisticates- Aloof and undemanding, floating like an inert gas in the classroom with little impact on students or their learning.
- Sentimentalists- Warm but undemanding- perhaps out of a misguided sense of sympathy for students or their learning.
- Warm Demanders- Combined "high personal warmth with high active demandingness." As a result students actively participated in class and were willing to work hard for their teachers.
At Hartman, our goal is to be warm demanders- the ability to set high expectations while simultaneously nurturing student growth. In short, the research affirms- what we already know - People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We will review some great strategies that warm demanders use over the next few weeks.
21 Day Challenge- Keep communicating to parents to register!
