Teacher Relationships

1. Believe that all students
can succeed.
Your beliefs about your students will
subconsciously affect how you treat each child in
your classroom.
Hold them to high standards, but support them
along the way. Scaffold your lessons.
Provide extra help as needed.
2. Get to know your
students.
A “Getting to Know You” questionnaire at the
beginning of the year is helpful. Other strategies
include talking to your students at the beginning
and/or end of class, or having students keep a
journal that you regularly read and respond to.
3. Say hello and goodbye to
every student, every day.
However, it’s not important how you greet your
students. What matters is that you take the
moment to be fully present and attuned with
every child. Make eye contact, smile, and use
their name. In these seemingly small moments,
relationships are built.
4. Laugh with your
students.
Although humor shouldn’t be a priority in
the classroom, you should work it in
whenever possible. Through shared
laughter, you’ll easily foster positive
relationships with your students.
5. Provide students with
choice.
As often as you can, provide flexibility and
choice in assignments.
The more you provide students with
choice and autonomy, the more they’ll see
that you value them as individuals.
6. Accept students–and their
mistakes in the classroom.
•Accept all students, despite their quirks and differences. Treat all
students with the same respect and kindness, and don’t allow
students to tease or disrespect one another in your classroom.
•When you struggle to remain patient, remember that the children
who need your love the most often show it in the most destructive
ways.
In addition, accept that mistakes are a natural part of learning, and
instill this belief in your students.
“When students don’t feel comfortable or
cared for in the classroom, learning
becomes difficult. On the other hand, if a
student feels connected to their teacher,
they’re likely to flourish”
