In what ways do you make your students feel valued?
-
I always get to know my students and I build a relationship with them throughout the school year. I provide a safe and caring environment in my classroom, and I remind them that our room is our home away from home. I also remind them we are a family, and even families disagree sometimes. But most importantly, we love and respect one another, just as God loves us.

I make my students feel valued by letting them know that they matter.

I get to know my students. I plan enrichment activities with their interests in mind. I have positive word rules in my classroom. Negative words are not allowed even in reference to self. I sit with them for lunch and sometimes if everything gets done we “sneak” to the playground. I don’t get to have a recess duty so it is a great reward for everyone.
-
I make it a point to casually speak with 2 students per course per day, simply asking about their interests. I attempt to respond quickly and personally when I suspect a student has a need or issue.
-
I always greet them or say hello when I see them on the halls. No matter the how many times I see them per day, I would say hi to then.
When is my turn for lunch duty, I go around the tables and interact with them.
My athletes know that I go to at least 4 of their games per season and they always thank me for going to see them.
Sometimes they even ask me to see them on the weekends and I do it.I have always make clear that they are way more than a grade for me.
