Soccer has been a powerful motivator for my 5th grade students to improve their behavior and enjoy school. My students who struggle in various content areas through the day, or are below grade level, thrive when we do soccer drills and scrimmage games. My school is a Title 1 school that serves over 500 students. Many students in my class had a reputation for misbehaving as they were often being sent out of the room, getting in trouble or not producing work through the years. This school year, their attitude towards learning has greatly improved. They trust that my love for soccer recognizes their playing abilities and has helped me build rapport as their teacher. They trust that just like soccer, what we do in the classroom is important for them to learn. Building a relationship with them creates a positive climate to have trust and commitment from all of us in the classroom.
