Smile and recognize every success no matter how small. The students will thrive on your enthusiasm and they love new faces. The Service-Learning Volunteer will be a role model for the student, demonstrating values of punctuality, dependability, and reliability. They will help the student appreciate the importance of education, both personally and professionally. All students are deserving of respect.
Students can be responsible for their behavior.
If you want respect and courtesy from your student, display them yourself rather than merely preach about them. A student is impressed and influenced far more by your example than by your words. Role Models Schools emphasize remedial activities as the student falls farther and farther behind. Students with low self-esteem experience depression and anxiety. These emotions interfere with their ability to learn.
