DON'T

DON'T:

1. Don't assume that being kind and respectful to students to enough to bolster their achievements . Ideal classrooms has more than a single goal : in idea classrooms, teachers hold their students to appropriately high standards of academic performance and offer students an opportunity for an emotional connection to their teacher, their fellow students and teachers( e.g Gregory and Weinstein, 2004). 
2. Don't give up too quick on your efforts to develop positive relationships with difficult students. these students will benefit from a good teacher-students relationship as much or more then their easier- to-get-along with peers(Baker,2006).
3. Don't assume that relationships are inconsequential. Some research suggests that preschool children who have a lot of conflict with their teachers show increases in stress hormones when they interact with these teachers(Lisonbee, Mize, 2008;)
