What Great Teachers Do Differently
As educators, we know how important it is to treat students with respect, no matter how they behave. We do this for our students' sake, otherwise, they won't thrive in our classrooms.
"When a student misbehaves, great teachers have one goal: to keep the behavior from happening again."
Whitaker, page 31, What Great Teachers Do Differently
