I think defining what like means is different...whatever we call it, I think that thing right. They're not at a place supposedly as mature as we are...So, if you're out there and you're listening, maybe this clarification has helped you.
Ever wondered if you need to like every student to be an effective educator? In this episode of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E., Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore dive into a fascinating discussion about the nuances between 'liking' and 'valuing' students. Broadcasting from their home offices due to an ice storm, they explore how social media has influenced our understanding of 'like' and why 'value' might be a more realistic goal for teachers.
The hosts share their experiences and offer practical advice on creating a supportive classroom environment, even when you don't necessarily like every student. They emphasize the importance of a teacher's attitude towards student performance and the challenges that come with valuing students across different grade levels. One particularly insightful segment discusses how repairing a damaged relationship with a student can be as simple as making kind and attentive eye contact.
This episode is packed with real-world applications and light-hearted moments, making it an engaging listen for educators, parents, and anyone interested in mental health in education. By the end, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to foster a positive and supportive atmosphere in your classroom, ensuring that every student feels valued.
