There is much we can learn from the great leadership influencers of our times.Mr. McNamarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062641578010808106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-48912895931640635422008-07-18T11:21:00.000-07:002008-07-18T11:21:00.000-07:00Mr. McNamar,Your post hits the nail on the head. ...Mr. McNamar,<BR/>Your post hits the nail on the head. In our school we call this 'building healthy attachments'. We are in different worlds as far as the ages of students we serve and the geographic areas we serve (I am from AZ), but this is the most effective teaching method I have ever come across and I applaud you for spreading the word. If all teachers taught students first and curriculum second, what a difference it would make! Thanks for your well written/adapted insights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-32848641854313011592008-07-12T09:34:00.000-07:002008-07-12T09:34:00.000-07:00Geezzz, this is an incredible post.

Some things I have learned in the Air Force.<BR/><BR/>1. Give praise when deserved. Always be very specific though. Praise a specific action, that way they know you mean it.<BR/><BR/>2. Set achievable standards, and then accept nothing less. Do not negotiate. Live by your own standards.<BR/><BR/>3. Always balance a correction with a compliment. Tell your student specifically how you learning/correcting the behavior apply to the next task or level of performance.<BR/><BR/>4. Accept responsibility for all failures; give credit to your students/followers for all successes.TurbineGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781298806992944235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-35305745449343115562008-07-10T19:27:00.000-07:002008-07-10T19:27:00.000-07:00Thanks for that.
