Really Get to KNOW your kids!!

Status: Advice for New Teachers
by Member on 04-28-2011 11:31 AM

The biggest thing I learned my first year was that I can teach their ears off and that is all good and dandy.  However, if they don't feel a connection with me on a level other than just being their teacher I am not going to get very far.  I am the only parent some of them see during the day so I have learned that my relationship with them comes first and the education just falls right into place.  It is much easier to teach math or science to someone that wants to listen to me over someone that could care less what I say!  Get to KNOW your kids!
