Here is what we talked about today:
- Working with the youngest kids provides you with some things that start to disappear as they get older. The light bulbs go off way more than when they are older.
- Rotating through content areas 1–4th grades.
- Give teachers a chance to focus more on a content area.
- Can be more difficult to build relationships with students.
- Works together with other teachers more on because of their transitions.
- How to deal with mean teachers.
- Confront them directly. State the appropriate professional response.
- How you treat people says a lot about you and how you feel.
- Projection
- How do I interact with this person after a confrontation?
- Continue to be professional towards that person.
- Need to model functional relationships for students - appropriate, nonviolent, non-angry problem solving solutions.
