QUESTION 27 OF 30

How do you interact with a student when they have let you down?

Never make this interaction about embarrassment or getting even. As a teacher, you are always the bigger person. You should be able to model this. But, be honest with how it made you feel and who the student let down in the process.

"I was a Yearbook Advisor at the last school. One student had a deadline that they did not complete. In turn, the editor and the rest of the staff had to cover for him. I shared with the student after what they had put the class through. We also discussed how he could work better for the next deadline. In my class, I have a two strike policy. After the second missed deadline, they are out of the class. I am happy to say the student was motivated and worked better as the year went on."
