Communication and Relationships Dr James T Webb
Important that forming relationships with 1 or 2 adults helps gate students, family and school. They are intense and challenging but it is important that they feel they belong. They need resilience, values and self efficacy. Treat them with intellectual respect, but consider asynchronicity in their development.Wisdom and intelligence are not the same thing.
Match the academic program to the child, there is no right program, it will vary year by year.
Relate this to flexible curriculum.. why shouldn't yr 7 do Shakespeare?Are our able students being frustrated, holding themselves back?
Descriptive praise - "I admire.. "show your expectations / catch them doing something right /start with their area of interest and branch off into ours, eg: "I look forward to your report on..".
Model the behavior you want to see, think ,would you say that to another adult?
Killer statements that kill motivation, eg. You can"t do that, it's a waste of time..weren't you listening?
Frequency: have lots of short special times, eg breakfast before school
Set limits, but enjoy power struggles "don't shoo flies" , book...Children:The Challenge.
Educators., as well as parents, can rescue too much
Model resilience in tradition breaking, we want to foster critical thinking skills. Cost...benefit. .know When it is too costly to challenge a tradition ?

Educational programs. . A range works, there is no one answer as a students needs can change year by year.
Heterogenous grouping is one programme but it only works in a 30 to 40 IQ point range, or l the less able give up and most able become intolerant.
Home school partnership. . Parents often feel excluded from school as their children get older but teachers NEED to know what a child's passion is so that the learning is 24/7.
Organizational structure. . Students think they don't get time to finish things, "don't rush us"
