Building Relationships

Each of us builds relationships differently. Here are two ways that as educators we can show our students we care about them as individuals. Take a moment to think about how to apply these to your teaching career.

1. Get to know the students both in and out of the classroom.
   • Talk to the students about their lives, when appropriate.
   • Greet them at the door. Shake their hands and ask them how they are doing, every day.
2. Get involved in other activities in the school and/or community
   • Allow students to get to know you outside of your teacher role.
   • Show commitment to the whole school, community, and student body.
