  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!)
Developing a rapport with the students would be the best place to start. Until the students feel like they know you better, they will question your motives. Also, patience and kindness are two traits that make students feel valued.

Comments: This makes sense. It will take time for students to trust you. Don't come on too strong before they are comfortable around you.
