What connectedness sounds like
High Expectations They say, I believe in
you its as simple as that. They say, You
can succeed in life. They brag about
you. Encouragement is key they say, You can do
better. They see you after class and say, See
you in the future.
Caring Relationships Be there. Get to know our
stories. They help me by listening and
encouraging me. They talk to me as a person and
friend, not just as a student. Ask, How was your
day? But also Listen and give eye contact. Take
time to say hello. Know our names.
Meaningful Participation Active learning, and
more discussions. Make it more visual. Show me
how to do it. Get the fun into class! Do group
projects. We can share ideas opens you up to
new ones. I want to help tutor little kids in
reading and math after school. Kids helping
kids School is a community its not a building
but about people.
