‘Lunch with me’ to provide opportunities on different days of the week for a student and teacher to share a meal together. Eating together helps teacher to see students beyond grades and assignments and form a human connect by engaging heartfelt conversations that express unconditional positive regard. It also helps to connect the less connected-the shy solitary students who in the realm of social awkwardness are not able to express themselves in a crowd. The mere act of showing up for lunch without an agenda is powerful proof that in our classroom everyday is a new day-that it isn’t just lip service but central to who we are educators.
