Rita Pierson: Every kid needs a champion | TED Radio Hour on NPR

I relate to this video. I think it is extremely important to have relationships with our students. I am not there to make friends with my students, however I am there to make them feel comfortable, safe and happy at school.



I teach because I want students to learn, and to be happy with their learning. I think my job is to:



Help students not afraid to take risks.

Never give up on them

Help them be the best that they can possibly be

Challenge students thinking, and help them to step outside of their comfort zone.
