217 Do you C.A.R.E about your students?

Wednesday June 26, 2024 3:30pm - 4:30pm EDT

Room 101 A

This presentation will explain how some teachers in today’s society perceive students from different walks of life and ways personal biases may impede the educational process for more students than we want to believe. You will also learn how to make necessary changes to grow as an educator and become a great teacher. Finally, you will have access to strategies that will help any educator demonstrate consistency with standard operating procedures, and analyze data to assist with professional growth. I once heard you must first know your students in order to educate them. That is true, however, I say, you must truly C.A.R.E. about your students in order to educate them and make a positive impact on their lives.
