  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!)
Try to build a relationship with each of the students.The students may not be completely accepting of you at first, but over time should warm up to you. Greeting them at the door, speaking to them with respect and listening to your students build that relationship. Try to make lessons exciting and give them assignments on things they are passionate about. For example, if some students like to sing, make an assignment where they create a song about whatever topic you are learning.
