+ Teachers can help their students by…
Building relationships and a sense of classroom community
Utilizing events that “add new brain cells”
Acknowledging their academic successes, not what they own or do not own.
Reviewing classroom rules and routines because they may differ from how their life operates outside the classroom.
“Have high expectations for your students”.
