Home Factors

to vent the frustrations of their parenting challenges.
2. You also listen to parents when you communicate their student’s
challenges.
3. You influence the home when you praise students’ strengths.
4. You reach out, affirm, support, and build a team of support for
the student.
 SCHOOL FACTORS
5. Minimize the interruptions of the school…in every way you can.
6. Your classroom is a safe environment and with a culture of care
and support.
7. Establish ways to celebrate each student, value their differences,
and congratulate all the small successes.
8. Focus on life. School is not life. Learning is. When you keep that
focus you make school an influential place for students!
 INTERNAL FACTORS
9. Talk to students about their mindsets. Focus on growth. Mistakes are
not the end. Where we are going is more important than where we are.
10. Every time you encourage students, you are shaping the way they
think about themselves.
11. Listen to the nonverbal communication. What does their body
language say? When you respond with that balance of care and high
expectations, you adjust challenge their self-doubt.
12. Focus on motivated learning instead of motivated compliance. Over
time, students will begin to see themselves as learners.
 INSTRUCTIONAL FACTORS

you maintain the human relationship…even when they
don’t want to.
14. Focus on relationships. When students mess up.
When they don’t care. When things are tough. Restore.
You still find 1,000 reasons to smile and care.
15. Focus the curriculum. Too much is too much. Dig
deep. Take time. Make it count. You know it may not be
popular practice, but it is best practice!
