Staff Meeting Closing Points

(...because we ran long, here are my final thoughts from Monday)

The Importance of Establishing Relationships...
Understand the critical role that relationships play in learning.
Help students understand that they can make a difference...now!
Focus on meaningful assignments and activities.
Search for celebration moments
Know your kids on a personal level - understand their struggles.
Believe each one of them can learn...and extend their own achievement bar far beyond their own expectations.

A video/story I like to share with staff highlights the importance of building that relationship, even with the students who may be the hardest to accomplish this with each year.
