Rita Pierson: Every kid needs a champion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Rita Pierson, a teacher for 40 years, once heard a colleague say, "They don't pay me to like the kids." Her response: "Kids don't learn from people they don't like.'" A rousing call to educators to believe in their students and actually connect with them on a real, human, personal level.

I have seen the video at three different schools and it strikes a chord every time. She is really good. I agree that you have to establish relationship in order to help the kids.

This video always reminds me how important it is to build relationships.  This year it will be a challenge because of remote learning.

Forming relationships with students is the foundation to all teaching.  If positive relationships aren't formed, it makes for a long year!

This is a very nice video - inspirational.  I have seen it before, but each time it is like the first time I am seeing it.  I do agree with all she said.  Relationships are very important to increase students participation ad enhance their learning.

It's a universal that the most challenging student is there every day! Let's hope that can still be the case remotely - that we can reach them.

I loved that video, it shows that  it is very important to see the students as more than students but as people, and being aware of their situations,  and what they are going through. Also just being there for them is important, and that the students know and will work harder and smarter!

I have seen this a couple of times during quarantine.  It's a fine line between being friendly with students and them thinking they are your friend.  I have seen this before.  Teacher wanted to be their friend and they walked all over the teacher.  Not a lot of learning got done.

Thinking of a student seeking negative attention as seeking a containment relationship follows from her way of thinking.

I love this video, I think it should be viewed every year as a reminder.  I had started changing how I corrected some things with the plus sign and not the minus and it really does make a difference.  Relationships are so important.

It is always a matter of the relationships you build with the students. I wouldn't say it has to do with if they like you, but if they respect you.

I think it's important to remember apologizing to students when you're wrong. I do it all the time. We're not perfect and students need to see that.

This was excellent. I like the part about the +2. I believe in that way of grading. I also believe not using RED PEN for grading. I use many colors so there is no "bad" color.
