True Self-Reflection
What am I thankful for?
Why do I teach / why am I in education?
What is my attitude?
How am I going to serve & share?
In what ways can I improve?
“If what you did yesterday seems big, then you haven’t done much today” C.Swindell
Teaching is coaching students academically
Coaching is teaching athletes a sport
The common theme is KIDS. They are the priority.
We want to win the kids that we teach.
Jason Smith – HS Social Studies Teacher/Head Golf Coach & After School Site Director
Winning the Kids
The classroom has objectives to teach.
The coach has fundamentals to teach.
The common theme is teaching!
The best coaches build great relationships and trust with their players.
Our goal is to bring the same to the classroom.
Making connections with kids
Using time between classes
Before and after school
These are times you can talk one on one with a student
Mike Emmons – North Callaway Activities Director/Retired Football Coach (20+yrs)
Asking what they like to do
Find positives in their interests
Learn about their interests
Follow up with them
See teaching through the eyes of the students
In order to do this you need to know your students on a personal level
Kevin O’Neal – HS Math Teacher/Head Football & Head Baseball Coach
Fear destroys intelligence and makes smart kids act stupid. Students are “subjected to 15,000 negative statements during twelve years of schooling” (Reasoner, 1989). According to the Quest Foundation, students report a lowering of self-esteem from a high of 80% who feel good about themselves in kindergarten to only 12% who feel good about themselves six years later.
How does the student view themselves?
Does this have an effect on their learning?
What can we do as educators to improve their view of self worth?
Model failure & how to handle it
Calling on underachievers
Celebrate their achievements, even those away from school
It starts with you!!!
Entire Organization
It is not enough to simply offer changes to the current way, but introduce a new attractive culture that everyone will buy into…..
Reid Randolph – HS Business Teacher/Head Track Coach & Asst. Football Coach
“…but, I’m already positive…”
“Being positive means “being easy” and will let discipline & accountability go.”
In the classroom, a positive culture starts with teachers developing positive relationships with the students.
The kids don’t care what you know, until they know that you care.
Five Positive Hallway Conversations
Address a student by name during each passing period
Hold a door open for a student
Wish students good luck on game day
Thank a student
Look for a student that seems down
Take Time to Talk to the Kids
Establish relationships
Plan time to get to know each kids
Make connections
Establish communication
Connect lessons to student interests
Positive Classroom
Being positive doesn’t mean that you don’t have high standards. It means that you provide the positive energy to help your students meet those standards.
Nothing of any real value is ever achieved without hard work and dedication.
MAKE SCHOOL FUN!!!
Greet the kids at the door by name
Ask them how they are doing, wait and listen for a response
Celebrate successes
I Can’t…YET
Take class time to develop connections with the kids
Encourage the kids to participate in multiple extracurricular activities
“You respect me, I respect you” – Red
Attend extracurricular activities
Catch a kid doing it right
How do you show your students that you care about them?
