Favorite Quotes:
“Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I will understand.” I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations it is my response that decides whether or not a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or dehumanized. I am part of a team of educators creating a safe, caring, and positive learning environment for students and teaching them in a manner that ensures success because all individuals are capable of learning. By Dr. Haim Ginott (1993)
