AMCMS Principal's Office
What's Going on in the Principal's Office?!
My Challenge to You
Take a few minutes to view the video above. This is one of my favorite videos of all time.
Rita Pearson explains the power of relationships in education. Relationships are at the center of being an educator. Rita said it best, "You know, kids don't learn from people they don't like." I am not asking you to be friends with kids. I am telling you that if you build authentic relationships that are centered around trust, honesty, and respect the kids will respond to you and work with you and for you.
How about you? What does Rita tell you? What message are you taking from her years of experience?
As I went in and out of classrooms last week I saw many wonderful relationship building activities in your rooms. Thank You. Now that the first week is behind us we cannot forget about the importance relationships. Just as Rita says, "the tough ones show up for the connection and relationships", and as the weeks go by you will need to revisit those connections and relationships.
When you take the time up front to connect you lay the groundwork to have success with your students. To see your hard work pay off at the end of the year you will need to continually revisit the connection and relationship you have with your students. As you plan throughout the school year be sure to take time to revisit the connections and relationships that you took time building this week.
Think. Achieve. Succeed.
