I really enjoyed the Mr. Bovill's breakout session at SREB on how to reach difficult students. He emphasized the importance of being relatable and meeting students where they are, which I found really helpful. I also appreciated the practical tips he gave us for building relationships with challenging students. Overall, it was a great session and I feel better equipped to help my teachers handle difficult situations in the classroom.
