Kids don't plan to come to school to get into trouble. Behaviour is a form of communication and quite often - the reason for it will make you sad, not angry.

Teaching is a relational activity. You have to reach them before you can teach them. Dare to care. It will be amazing what you will find out about your students and how much more they will do for you if they know you really care about them.

Sometimes the light in you frustrates the demons in others. Nevertheless, keep shining.

It’s important to remember these words when planning curriculum!
