How do you SHOW students through body language, facial expressions, and tone that you believe in their ability to succeed and won\\u2019t settle for less than they\\u2019re capable of?

Every teacher knows to hold kids to high expectations, and develop with students. The warm demander stance isn\\u2019t anything new \\u2014 it\\u2019s an equity approach developed by Judith Klenfield back in 1975.

But figuring out how to make the \\u201cwarm demander\\u201d approach feel authentic and natural within your teaching style can be tricky, so I thought it might be helpful to talk about what worked for me and a few of the educators I\\u2019ve learned from.

In this episode, I\\u2019ll break down a few examples of what both \\u201cwarm\\u201d and \\u201cdemanding\\u201d could look like in the classroom so you can get a mental picture.
