Tricks of the trade…• Students with special concerns
“stick-out” very early in the school year. Invite them to spend time with you (lunch buddies). Get to know them, their families, hobbies, etc.
• Provide special jobs/tasks for these students.

Things to think about…• Expectations and code of conduct.• Assumptions made about students
can hamper relationships.• Communicate with parents often. • Many attitudes that students bring
to school are a part of their culture.
