1. Set the Tone
Explain that you respect them and have high expectations for them.
2. Be a Mentor
Don’t forget how important you are in helping your students develop not just academically, but also socially.
3. Make Connections
Part of being a great mentor is your ability to make connections with these tough kids.
4. Take it Personally (In a Good Way)
Once trust has been established, remind these students that you believe in them even if they make a mistake.
5. Expect Anything and Everything!
All of our students come from a variety of cultures, nationalities, and home environments, and these five techniques that have worked for me might barely scratch the surface of how you interact with the tough kids in your classroom.
