The secret Elizabeth Peyton cited for working with poor kids. You ready? It’s pretty simple. Always default to __________________________________.

__________________ is linked to childhood trauma.

As long as you follow up with what the kid claims he or she needs, you’ll generally find the _____________.

It’s better to err on the side of ______________________ than to be overly harsh.

Treat a kid like a ____________________ person and, more often than not, they’ll act like one.

“Great lessons are a lot like ___________________________________________—a strong start makes all the difference.”

Students are more likely to engage in learning when the _____________________________ are made clear.

Really powerful _______________________________ can also be used at the beginning (and throughout) class to foster interest, thinking, energy, and effort.
