I met two of my three aides for the first time today and they have been nothing but miserable the entire day. How could I promote a more positive environment without directly calling them out?

It’s a power to make you miserable- stay positive and it will rub off on them.Your the newbie so be you and they will come around. Good luck!

Ask what they want to incorporate into the class-ideas, what supports they like to use. Give them a voice, if after some time and that doesn’t get them to feel happy- ask them if they want to see if they can get a change in their assignment. I did this and they were happier and so was I with they made the call, but you did have their input into the room and their choice.

These two in particular have been with the students for at least a year, where they’re relatively new to me, so I’ve been asking for their input a lot. It’s only been one day, so I’m trying to be positive about it, but based solely on the other day, it seems like nothing is going to make them happy.😕

Last Spring I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. When I was diagnosed, I think I had had it for several years. My doctor put me on a diabetes med (my A1C was 10.2 and my blood sugar was 270).
