What are one or two practices you’d like to implement that would allow you to demonstrate your care for and commitment to your students? If you already have practices in place, what are they?
-
I am already trying to actively talk with my students and ask how their days are. I have noticed a need for some basic life skill education though, so I am working on a few lessons I can do to help them. I would love for them to be able to graduate (they are all seniors) with some knowledge of email etiquette, money management, and cooking.

Before breaks and long weekends I go around the room and ask each child if they have special plans for the time off. For the kids that don’t, I tell them how important it is to take time to relax and stay at home. I would also like to start having them journal with prompts that would allow me to gain more insight into their life outside of school.

I like to encourage kids to be involved in extracurriculars. I would like to make more time to go to their games and activities to show my support. I have done this more in my earlier years, and it helped create strong bonds with the students each time.

I would love to provide them with more hands on activities. I would also like to spend more time with them outside of class.

Some practices I would like to implement are zoom office hours and another is providing detailed feedback on assignments for my students.
