I like this cartoon for a couple good reasons….Number 1…It
goes to show how we can find the positive in ANY child. We can find a
strength or skill that every child has….hopefully something a little more
productive than the one before. The second is that we, as educators, are
all “spin doctors” to some degree. We have to find the right way to say
everything to the kids to get buy in. I once heard an teacher say, “I
knew I was good when my kids were excited about learning the quadratic formula…no
one likes learning that.” They learned to sell their product well.
We all have something to sell…we all want buy in…we need to
know our customers. They are small, but I can promise you that something
will make them want to be on board with you…if you just find it.
I hope this week you find ways to make every child buy in to
the instruction in your classroom. I hope it is a great week of
encouraging and “spinning education” in a way that creates raving fans!
Happy Monday!
