Gaining
Respect Marianne Francone
A teacher quickly learns
that students have a sixth sense which tells them whether
adults really care about and respect them. If a teacher
does not communicate respect, he/she will not receive
respect. One must adhere to several "Golden Rules."
- KNOW THYSELF
- Be aware
of your own beliefs and attitudes.
- Be aware
of your body language and what it communicates.
- Identify
your buttons and limits.
- Understand
your needs; leave your "baggage" at
the door.
- ESTABLISH TRUST
- Get to
know your students.
- Communicate
genuine caring and interest.
- Be consistent
and fair.
- BE A POSITIVE
ROLE MODEL
- Be aware that students study
your interactions with colleagues, parents,
and other students.

and motivating creative
rewards.

UNTO
OTHERS
AS
YOU
WOULD
HAVE
THEM
DO
UNTO
YOU."
