It's such a good reminder to stop and take the time to form connections with all of our students.organized chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050635225751382130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-12847159177713768592015-03-28T05:00:22.101-07:002015-03-28T05:00:22.101-07:00This makes me wonder how much growth we would see ...This makes me wonder how much growth we would see from the kids who can be successful without relationships if they had relationships with their teachers. I think of my own daughter who is 15. She is one of those kids who can be "successful" without the relationship component. I don't want her to be successful.

I think one of my take away from Jensen's book is that while many kids can be successful with the "no time for relationships, just focus on academics" the kids we can't otherwise reach- the ones we often feel like we can't connect with and wonder why our normal strategies aren't working- those are the kids who desperately need the relationships in order to be available for learning. organized chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050635225751382130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-25169361637820964912015-03-16T04:29:30.691-07:002015-03-16T04:29:30.691-07:00Thank you for articulating what I see in my classr...Thank you for articulating what I see in my classroom every day. Relationships, community, belonging, all these are key for just being and THEN the learning can happen. I wrote about my frustrations lately when I was told that our kids don't have time for these things they need to learn to read. Your post gives me more to think about and build my case for why it is essential that we take the time to make these children feel that they belong, the are important and they are safe when they come to school.<br /><br />You can read about my experiences with my students at www.mydandelion.co<br /><br />The post I am referring to is These Kids Don't Have Time for Kumbabya CrapRayanne Pirozzihttp://www.mydandelion.conoreply@blogger.com
