So many times I think the students get comfortable with us, their teachers, and let that part go. Then they surprise us when we least expect it. Last year during my evaluations, I just knew I would have a problem with a particular group of students. When the administrator came in though it was like someone switched places with them. They were wonderful!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630879673554408369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-46937539211235227242009-09-26T16:20:00.105-04:002009-09-26T16:20:00.105-04:00That was totally awesome!!

It seems as though they can drive me absolutely crazy sometimes and other times, as you have described, they can make you so proud! I had my first observation for the year a couple of weeks ago and my students were fabolous like yours. I think that when they like you as their teacher, and you have shown that you care about them, then they will stick up for you when it counts. The kids know when we are being watched and they can really make or break you. I don't mean to sound like I'm not giving them credit for what they can do, or that they are bad all the time. I do think, however, that sometimes people (other teachers and admin) can spew so much negativity that it can alter you thinking a bit. I do believe that when the students see that you want them to succeed, then they will do the same for you as a teacher.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971751398278810340noreply@blogger.com
