have a obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time”
“It is the responsibility of every adult…to make sure that
children hear what we have learned from the lessons of life and to hear over
and over that we love them and that they are not alone.”

“Teach students how to do things right, don’t just establish
consequences for doing the wrong”.
“There are teachers who without much fanfare take the
students who others say “can’t read great literature, can’t do algebra or
calculus, can’t and don’t want to learn—and turn them into scholars who
can”

I used the same quote from Renatta M. Cooper. It is so true!! It should never be about you. It should ALWAYS be about what the children need. Even if that means letting them hold on to you for a little longer because they are having some trouble transitioning that day. Or holding the bathroom door open for them so they can flush and run away because they are afraid of the loud sound of the toilet flush.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote from Doug Lemov. I am that type of teachers that will help children no matter where they came from or how they learn. Children are like sponges they just need the right person to give them the information they will need.
