The Power of Caring when Stress is High
"When we take care of the kids, the test scores will take care of themselves..."
One of my mentors early in my career, who later went on to be a very successful principal, superintendent, and beyond, once told me in a group conversation that the key to his success as an educator was all due to relationships first. He built solid relationships with his staff and students and was very adept at identifying talented caring people when hiring new members to add to the community and contribute positively to the culture.
In one particular conversation with him I specifically remember interviewing him for a class I was taking and I candidly asked "What is the one thing that you can tie to all of your success?" (because success and positive feelings seemed to follow him wherever he went). He looked at me and said "Relationships. Our kids know that we care about them".
So with the new year still fresh upon us, and with these key ideas and "The Energy Bus" in mind, remember this quote - "When we take care of the kids, the test scores will take care of themselves".
