Building Goodwill on Good Days (Con't.)
Work at getting to know your students as individuals. Find out their interests. Initiate conversations with them about sports, TV, or school activities, or compliment them on their clothing. As you talk to them and listen to what's on their minds, they will begin to see that you're not just another adult, but someone who is genuinely interested in them.
What you are doing is building up goodwill. There may be some hard times ahead, where you will have to be tough on certain individuals. Having some previous interactions that were positive WILL help. Though having “favorites” is not a good idea, it doesn't hurt to make a special effort to build a friendship with those who may become your problem students.
STAFF TO DO:
- We are doing a minimum of 1 responsibility grade and 1 content grade per week. 12 total grades minimum for the semester should be entered by Thursday before 12:00.
- Have you talked about Habits or Learning Mindsets lately? Hopefully, it's not just something that hangs on your wall but is used to successfully prepare our students for life.
- Make time to build a little Goodwill with your students, it'll pay off down the road!
