Respond to the following in your workshop journal:

Joe Bernhart defines his job as reaching "all... kids, even the ones we aren't making connections with." Which students do you have the most difficulty making connections with? What changes do you make to enable those connections? What else might you do? What resources and support do you have to help you?
