My favorite teacher was one of my history professors in college. He was very personable and pleasant to be around. He always made sure to know his students names and to have conversation with them. In our lecture time, he regularly made things conversation and idea based.

Being open and honest with the students has always worked for me. If the kids know you make them apart of daily decisions that impact the class it gives them a sense of ownership and I think they buy in more. Also, taking an interest in kids lives outside of school always helps.

One way I will form relationships as a counselor is by being visible in the hallway, at lunch or any chance I get. I will also spend my first sessions getting to know the student and building a strong foundation for a relationship.

Mr. MacWhorter was my 7th grade social studies teacher. Coming out of K-6 Catholic school, Mr. Mac's style of teaching blew me away. He loved experiential learning which is why we stood on our desks and pretended we were sailing on Viking ships and why my friend, Monica Chai (aka Brutus), stabbed me (aka Julius Caesar) in front of the class on the Ides of March (Et tu, Brute?)
