I remember thinking I cared about my students.
I demonstrated this in my grit, hard work and relentless pursuit of excellence rhetoric that I preached.
I would set high expectations, pitch motivational slogans on the side and give them advice about lifestyle choices.
My formative and summative feedback focused on how they could feed forward to develop higher grades, and I told them all that they were all capable of scoring 100/100, if only they wanted it and worked hard enough.
