Connecting with students
I listen to my students. I am OK with letting the discussion go in an unintended direction if the students are eager and involved. Many times a discussion of a literature character's problems invites the students to share their own insights, and I encourage and support them in communicating their ideas clearly.
I always have concerns. Are there students who are having difficulties that prevent them from being successful? Should I change my approach, or should I contact a counselor? Many of our students are dealing with personal situations that make learning vocabulary seem unimportant.
I try to remember that.
