Relating a mistake you made can be a powerful learning experience for a student.

REFOCUS is totally new concept to me but of great potential use.

Verbal rewards are powerful tools to increase student self respect.

Student needs both in and outside the classroom must be heard, even if I cannot change the issue.

Short attention span. 5-7 steps.

Share something about you.

I use post it notes to as a note pad. That way if an issue needs to be readdressed I can save the notes on it.

Past experience shapes us, but we must keep learning ourselves to be great instructors
