What sort of kindness have you received from others today? How did it change your day?
"I experienced so much kindness from others today: students holding those heavy stairwell doors open when they saw me walking their way, parents and students helping me break down and recycle school supplies boxes, and others sharing their excitement for me in my new role."

Connection before content!
We emphasize the importance of building relationships and trust with students before diving into academics. This approach fosters a sense of belonging, emotional safety, and mutual respect, which leads to better learning outcomes.
When students feel seen, valued, and connected to their teachers and peers, they are more open to engaging with the academic material. Prioritizing connection allows for a more supportive environment where students can emotionally and academically thrive. ... See MoreSee Less

Sometimes teachers in different subjects like math do not connect as easily with kids, as this is the experience of my middle schooler. If you struggle in a subject and the teacher is unapproachable that student is scared to ask for help when struggling with tests. Sometimes the grade becomes the wall between student and teacher. Connections to the heart and achieving small goals for those students who are struggling academically would build confidence and relationships.
Where is the universal design?
