This was a good little video. This can be a whole lesson for some individuals. I am very blessed this year to have the ability to teach the same students from last year. A few of them have diverse backgrounds which they love talking about, but it is is important as words and phrases we may not find offensive, others do. So having that background knowledge makes it easier for me to maintain the relationships for this year.

I think it is the most important part of being a teacher is to get to know your student. My biggest pet-peeve is when teachers don't even take the time to learn student name.

The brain looks for that social connection with the teacher and students may disconnect if they feel disrespected/not valued. Students need to understand/believe that their teachers are there for them. Teachers can then earn the right to "push" their students further.

Classroom environemnt and teacher student rapport is sooo important for students to feel safe and included in the schools.

Relationships set the foundation for students to feel accepted and acknowledged in a postive light - regardless of cultural backgrounds.

Creating a classroom environment in which students feel welcomed is not a new concept. However, looking at that sense of belonging as being connected to culture is something that I do not purposely consider, and will attempt to consider as I move forward.

We are all social beings. No matter how old we get, we all want to feel liked and included - we must remember that with our students. "A vicious cycle becomes a virtuous cycle." Earn the right to push your students by showing them you care about who they are as individuals.

We forget that so much of what we think, do, say, and teach is related in some way to our social well-being. While we are supposed to be unbiased in our teaching, and treat all students equally, it is hard to remember- in the moment- that what we're saying or how we're reacting is so wholly based in our environment, in the people we surround ourselves with, in our past social experiences.
