Kid's aren't dumb. They will realize when you're lying or trying to deceive them. Teachers need to be straight up with their students. They need to know who you are as a person. By being yourself, students find ways to relate to you outside of the curriculum, and if you can relate to students you will be able to figure out what they need to maximize their learning potential.
Every teacher that I have made a significant connection with, I have been able to relate to with something other than the subject material. no exceptions. All my favorite teachers and the teachers i learned most from, I connected with. They were Authentic. I responded.
