Although I am still new and learning, I believe it is important to establish student/ teacher, class/teacher relationships. I am honest with my students and encourage that, while always being respectful, conversations to help me be a better teacher are welcome. I try not to escalate situations if challenging students or situations arise. I also set boundaries for subjects or activites and make sure we don't cross those. I love the ideas of having community members come in for additional learning in wide variety of areas of study. Always be willing to learn, listen, and try new ways to teach.
