Quotes by Oran Tkatchov  (?)

“Being supportive and building students’ confidence is not accomplished by blindly telling them they are doing a great job every day.  It involves assessing weaknesses and strengths and delivering feedback in a timely manner so that they can build their skills to complete the task at hand.”
Oran Tkatchov, Success for Every Student: A Guide to Teaching and Learning

“As a teacher, no matter what grade level, no matter how hard you try to engage the entire class or implement the suggestions above, you will still encounter “that one kid” who will get under your skin: the class clown, the smart-ass, the student who acts like you are pulling his teeth every time you ask him to do something, the kid who always has to say “this is stupid.” They are just part of the clientele base we serve and they can drive us to drinking (figuratively
speaking…and sometimes literally).  
Please remember that you are the adult.  The negativity or resistance “that one kid” radiates can be handled in a way that does not disturb the class structure.”

“With all the multi-tiered interventions, assessment software, aligned textbooks, digital content, and scripted curriculum available to the field, some might question if the role of the teacher is significant in today’s schools. Does it really matter who is leading the classroom? The answer to this question is a resounding YES!”
Oran Tkatchov, Success for Every Student: A Guide to Teaching and Learning

“Exemplar teachers know a good day is not based on whether their students listened quietly and stayed seated in neat rows, but what the students actually learned. The focus is on student learning, not the teacher.”
Oran Tkatchov, Success for Every Student: A Guide to Teaching and Learning

“A teacher might be the only “responsible citizen” the student interacts with. It is important to show how a responsible adult acts. This can include how a responsible person acts when frustrated, how a responsible person acts when mad, how a responsible person acts when disappointed, or even how a responsible person acts when faced with conflict.”
Oran Tkatchov, Success for Every Student: A Guide to Teaching and Learning

“There are no shortcuts. Teachers must commit to being committed. They must wake up knowing they can and will do what is necessary to change a student’s life for the better.”
