Building Goodwill on Good Days
Too often we only interact with students when there is a disruption. When things are going well and students are quietly reading, doing their work, or listening attentively, we just silently accept this situation and enjoy the respite from having to correct misbehavior. Yet this is the time to build a little goodwill by commenting on how much you appreciate your students' good habits. Sometimes it feels cheesy, but it works! Here's a great opportunity to use statements like these:
- “It’s great to see all of you starting your bell work without being told.”
- “I appreciate that you are all working so quietly.”
- “Great day today, thank you for your focus and hard work. It’s going to pay off.”
- “It sure is easy to carry on an adult discussion when people raise their hand and don’t interrupt others. I appreciate that.”
STAFF TO DO:
- Complete the Team Rubric if you have not already done so. (Teaching staff only)
- We are doing a minimum of 1 responsibility grade and 1 content grade per week. 10 total grades minimum for the semester should be entered by Thursday before 12:00.
- Visit another classroom for 5 minutes. It shows kids we care about what they are doing outside of your own class and it shows them WE are interested in each other as colleagues.
- Make time to build a little Goodwill with your students, it'll pay off down the road!
