How to be a LEGIT Teacher: Teacher Tip #1

The very first teacher tip is brought to you by 23 of the most amazing students in the world, okay maybe I'm a little biased. My 4th grade class has a tip for you, and I think every teacher should read this.
The most important things that students need from their teachers are love, respect, honesty, knowledge, and guidance.
I couldn't agree with them more. Before we carry out the business of teaching content, students need to know we care. It's about relationships first and foremost, that's the best tip you'll ever get in this profession.
