Then this book will open your eyes to the importance of instilling respect and responsibility in children, and the necessity of building positive relationships with them at the same time.
Respect, responsibility, and the ability to build successful relationships with children-
what I have coined the “New Three Rs” - have truly become a prerequisite
Respect Is The Key To Stopping Bullying Behavior
Educators today are under constant pressure to improve students’ standardized test scores and to improve students’ overall academic performance. If a student’s test scores are not up to snuff or if students have academic difficulty that can’t be explained, often, a principal will find his or her way into the classroom for an observation to try to find something wrong with the teacher’s instructional methods. The question I would like to raise here is: who truly is responsible for a student’s academic performance?
Why Character Is Everything
That which truly distinguishes one person from another is the force that is called character. Character is more important than achievement. Character affects thoughts decision, words, attitudes, goals, relationships, and actions. As people build character, the outcomes of their lives become more successful. Good character is characterized by the constant striving to make the right choice. A person with true character demonstrates qualities such as: honesty, reliability, diligence, respect and responsibility. In school, a student cooperates in a willing spirit with school regulations concerning attendance, property, and behavior.
Teaching Respect
PRAISE – Begin a praise day and have all students write down something they like about another person in the class. It could start, “The nicest thing about you is” and have the students finish the paragraph. This encourages respect amongst students and makes it the norm in your classroom. One student gets a turn everyday. The teacher becomes quality control and filters out any negative comments. One student a day leaves with a folder of nice comments made about them.Of course teachers should use praise as a tool for motivation. Remember to praise character not achievement.
