The PAWSitive Power of Relationships

“Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

              -Adapted from Theodore Roosevelt

Pawsitive Idea #19 - South staff will take time to establish caring relationships with our students.

3 KEYS TO CARING RELATIONSHIPS

  • Warmth – accept your students for who they are and care for them as a good parent cares for their child. Show them that they are important to you.

  • Empathy – understand how your students think and feel about what is going on around them.

  • Time – take the time to physically and mentally present when talking with your students.

       (From John Hattie’s Research, The Australian Society for Evidence-Based Teaching)


Student of the Month - Our first Student of the Month/Academic Achievers breakfast will take place at 9am on Thursday, December 13th.  Student of the Month winners from September, October, and November and students who have achieved high marks in all courses during Trimester will receive an invitation soon!
