Here are ten ways you can challenge yourself to choose a positive response and be a merchant of hope for all students: 1. Bring your best to work every day. Be grateful you get the opportunity to make a positive impact on a child every day! 2. Give two minutes of your time to one student and one staff member every day. Be intentional with your time and then follow up with a quick word or note. The small things can make all the difference. 3. Be empathetic. Taking the time to understand, share, and be sensitive to another person’s feelings is critical in building a culture of trust.
