  9. Between Teacher and Child I have come to a frightening conclusion. Iam thedecisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I canhumiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized. Haim Ginott

  10. "None of us is as skilled as all of us" Make a pledge to yourself to keep sharing and networking!
