"When I like the teacher, I want to do their work. And I'll be like, 'I can learn this.'" Research shows that students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn. #HowLearningHappens

One of my favorite quotes from #Relentless is: “Student behavior is feedback on your relationships, preparation, effort, and instruction. As adults, we don’t always want to hear that feedback, but we must not ignore it.” @brewerhm your book is amazing!
