This past week was a whole week of Teacher Appreciation. It was great but I wanted to reflect on the hardship we go through when students are suffering. How can teachers help their students to process their emotions? How can teacher observe student behavior without judgment? We have a lot of work to do on ourselves to create a healthy safe environment in our classrooms. Only then can students begin to learn how to manage their emotions and have a positive self esteem. I share many quotes from David Richo in this episode to make my points. Hope you can share your thoughts with me. We need to be able to dialogue to begin real change.
