Teachers and coaches get frustrated when their students don't perform at their best. "How many times have I told you?" "You are lazy!" These phrases don't help students improve their performance; they don't ease the teacher's frustration either. Instead, they create a distance between the teacher and their students.
Rather than blame others when we cannot control a situation, we should focus on learning how to manage it by noticing ourselves. To be aware of our inner experiences (emotions and thoughts) helps us to connect to ourselves and to control our impulses. That is when we can intentionally establish relationships with our learners.
In I Notice, you will find:

Claire Hallinan's 6-Step Method that shifts your thinking patterns by using "I notice" statements,

How non-judgmental observations will consequently increase the students' desire to connect with their teacher,

How to monitor your progress using the provided worksheets, and

Small and simple daily routines that transform your relationships with youth.

I Notice equips readers with the key to uncovering the relationship with young learners that has been stuck at a certain level.

With intentional relationships, students will perform beyond their perceived abilities.

I Notice teaches you how to be aware of present moments.

I Notice enhances your communication pathways with students in addition to your already existing good intentions. When the communication pathway is mindfully established between the teacher and students, young learners will soar to success.
