Teachers don’t just teach. They support, guide, listen, emphasize, care, and love all while dedicating countless hours to making a difference in the lives of kids. For this and many other reasons they deserve our respect and admiration.

To build powerful relationships with all learners: 1. Love your kids more than the subject you teach and/or the grade level you work with. 2. Use feedback and positive reinforcement as the main learning motivator, not grades or marks. 3. Be empathetic.

Hybrid learning success hinges on giving teachers more time during the school day. Many are struggling trying to juggle both face-to-face and remote learners at the same time and are working unsustainable hours because they are dedicated to kids. They need relief now.

Piling on work doesn’t equate to learning, especially if some kids don’t have adequate parental support at home. Make it manageable, use common sense, and find ways to give learners valuable feedback. It’s not how much is assigned, with the quality of what’s assigned.
