Mrs. Callif is the perfect example of a teacher who is a warm demander. She cares deeply about her students and pushes them outside of their comfort zones. That's exactly why she gets to have one of our good friends in her class, let's call him Mike. We all love him so much (and he knows it), but we knew he needed some PUSH.
This year, Mrs. Callif has been doing just that and he's been making great growth. But, sometimes, he has enough of her "care and push". Yesterday was one of those days. He ended up in the xSEL room. Some chairs may have been tipped and I may have been called in to help a little. There's nothing I love more than a chance to deescalate an upset friend. And, this time did not disappoint. Upon entering the xSEL room I learned that Mike was quite upset with Mrs. Callif. Then he said the unthinkable.... "Mrs. Callif you're trash!" "YOU'RE DOG WATER!" I said, "Wow! That's going to sting later when Mrs. Callif reflects on her day. She really loves you. How could you say that about her?" Later when he calmed down, I shared his comments with his mom who was also very upset that he would say such things about his wonderful teacher. But, as we all know love is an intervention...so, click on the link to the staff update to see what he brought her today.
