  Case: Dropout Prevention
I substitute at an alternative school for students who tend to dislike and treat school like it is the streets. I want to really be involved with the students and create a positive climate but they tend to feel as their is a threat every time something good comes their way. How can I make them feel that I am not threat while showing I care for them and their education?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would start by trying to grow a connection with each and everyone of your students. Show them that you are there for them, show them your love and caring side. These students have a very hard time with trust issues, and that is something you have to earn with them. Don't buy their love, just show them by coming to school everyday, greeting them, try new handshakes, or get them engaged in something they all like in class. I wish you the best of luck, but I believe you can get these students to care.

Comments: I would not use this approach because this sound like a poorly managed classroom and the focus is on controlling behavior with caring, rattan than teaching and learning.

Comments: I agree with this! My high school english teacher who was also my cross country coach really built a connection with me that ultimately kept me in school and now I am in college working to become a teacher. Great suggestion!

Comments: Yes, many of these students may go home to a family that does not care about grades or their future so at times it is put on the teacher to be all caring and loving to each one of their students to make sure they are always doing their best and it is noticed.
