“I would encourage all of the Ruckus Makers listening to really focus on how each interaction you have with a student or a fellow educator is serving to build a connected relationship we're learning. Know and give yourself grace. It's not always instinctive or easy. Oftentimes it is really hard. So, prepare, write it down, make a plan. We got into this because we love kids so use your conversations to make sure that they feel that every single day.”
