ABSTRACT
I remember when our school started “Homework Cafe.” We intended this to be a place for students to complete their homework during lunch if they had not finished it for their class. We knew that assigning zeros was not constructive, and we did not want students to leave their assignment unfinished. We knew that this initiative would only be successful if we recruited the right staff member to supervise it. When discussing this with my assistant principal, we knew that we needed someone who would connect well with the students in the Cafe. We needed a teacher who was patient and compassionate. We needed a teacher who would be invested in the success of Homework Cafe.
