They believe work is futile.

TRUST
To earn trust, teachers must… do the right thing… in a respectful way…for the right reasons. Anthony Bryk and Barbara Schneider
Trust in Schools, 2002

RESPECT
We must give respect to students even when they seem to least deserve it. It is useless to demand RESPECT from students until they learn how to show it.

INTENTIONALITY
Brains are hardwired for only six emotions: joy, anger, surprise, disgust, sadness and fear. All others must be taught. We must INTENTIONALLY teach the others.
Eric Jensen, 2009

If You Want IT, Teach IT!
Step 1: Tell kids what they need to knowStep 2: Model the behavior; demonstrate itStep 3: Students practice the behavior until
the class shows 100% complianceStep 3: Review the first three steps if needed
