A good inside joke with a challenging student or group of students gets you 7 interactions quickly and easily.]]> 2018-01-03 17:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/218575332 https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/218778222 I like the idea of seven touches but I know that some take way more than 7 touches. That doesn't mean it isn't worth the effort it just takes way more to break through their hardened shell.]]> 2018-01-04 16:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/218778222 https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/219178165 I'm not sure how much I agree with this, I feel like its a two pronged initiative where you must be their friend and also show the rules at the same time. ]]> 2018-01-07 18:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/219178165 https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/219229279 Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. ]]> 2018-01-08 04:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/219229279 https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/220727951 The article was a great reminder to continue to make connections with our students. However, I still feel that we need to establish guidelines and expectations first as we develop those relationships. It takes time to develop the "7 touches" with each of our 150 students, and if we don't establish our expectations/rules first, the students won't know what to expect, and we all know they walk in day 1 wanting to know what all of our expectations are. ]]> 2018-01-11 18:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tdurham2/n7ag2mju2z8w/wish/220727951
