# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Define students by what they contribute, not what they lack -- especially those with difficult upbringings, says educator Victor Rios. Interweaved with his personal tale of perseverance as an inner-city youth, Rios identifies three straightforward strategies to shift attitudes in education and calls for fellow educators to see "at-risk" students as "at-promise" individuals brimming with resilience, character and grit.

As with most things in life, time is everything. Efficiency and organization are the beating heart of a classroom, and must be handled with care in order to provide students with the appropriate amount of time necessary to grow into active learners.

Time-keeping resources such as - Omnibox Timer, Timer Extension, and Clock by Google - are just some of the tools available.

Flippity (linked below), Aurasma, and Google Classroom are other good resources as well for managing time and assignments.

Even though I knew the importance of my education, while growing up I hated feeling stuck in the classroom always doing the same thing everyday. Unlike myself, other students took this apathy, boredom, and disinterest and turned it into inappropriate behavior and distraction.

Advocating for breaks, the opportunity to move around and to be creative and innovative is crucial to providing students with the release and rest they need in order to remain focused on what's important.

Allowing students to move with sites like GoNoodle (linked below), or to obtain rewards as with sites like ClassDojo are just some of the ideas for managing behavior.

Monitoring where students sit, as with sites like Class Charts, can also be a useful tool as well.
