Want to See Students Grow: Show Them You Care

Dave F. Brown, Ed.D.

 

Teachers are responsible for many aspects of young adolescents’ overall growth—from social emotional development to moral maturity to critical thinking to academic gains. All those “tricks” you’ve gleaned from experts and colleagues to improve student learning may be missing the most significant act influencing students’ growth—simply demonstrating care for each student. Dave provides a host of middle level students’ comments laced with personal teaching stories (mostly mistakes) and recent research findings in this talk that demonstrate that caring for students has a greater impact on learning than every other tool in your kit!
