little things
it never stops surprising me just how far knowing things about a student’s life goes with them – even (and sometimes especially) the lttle things. whether its a name, a hobby, a struggle or just their favorite brand of toothpaste (mine’s wintergreen colgate) – it shows them that they not only exist but that they matter in ways that just saying it will NEVER accomplish.
so remember a little thing about one of your students and find or wait for a place to show them they matter!
