“But also when you know the teacher cares about you and your future… when they act like they think you’ll be someone in life,” p. 84. The students want to know that you appreciate them and think they can make something of themselves. In order to succeed in the classroom and feel important students want to know that their teachers and peer think they will succeed in the real world.
A classroom should be somewhere a student feels safe and respected. They also need to know the work they do in it will have an impact on their future. Students should take pride in the work that they do and be encouraged to do so. By telling them they have a future not only are you complimenting them now for the work they are doing but also telling them that you thought ahead about them and think that they will succeed.
