In what ways do you feel you currently nurture your students? How have you seen this impact them?
-
I sometimes eat lunch with them and chat while doing so.
I check and ask about their grades in subjects I don’t teach and encourage them to do better,
I sometimes take time to have discussions with some of them about the behavioral challenges they have.
I disciple when I need to.
All these has made me have a good relationship with them and their parents.
-
Currently, I hold regular one-on-one meetings with my students to discuss their progress, concerns, and interests. I also pray for them when they are unwell and offer encouragement whenever I see they need it. As a result, they are more eager to communicate and connect with me, and they feel comfortable sharing their concerns.
-
I strive to connect with each of my students on a personal level, paying close attention to even their facial expressions. If I notice a student seems troubled, I make an effort to understand what’s going on. I also dedicate extra time outside of class to support struggling students and demonstrate my genuine interest in their progress.
-
Display school policies in my classroom. This helps in calling students’ attention to any area they have violated any of the policies. I also communicate regularly in a way that the students have developed a good habit of mind consciously about their acts.
-
I have clear policies that I establish at the beginning of the year. I respect my students and greet them every day. I ask how they are doing, if they look upset, I ask if they are doing alright. I have the library prepped and ready for them every day so the students can get their work done.
