#1 goes a loooong way.
How I show #respect to my students:
Learn names
Treat them like the adults they are
Offer engaging classes that respond to feedback I've received in prior terms
Offer opportunities for students to learn & to meet their goals if not to learn

There are many indigenous names for the snow that gathers on trees in the winter. The one that I learned is qali. It makes everything look pretty, but it affects the ecology of the forest and sometimes the survival of the trees. It can get really heavy and can break young trees. 🌿
