Building Great Teacher-Student Relationships (Part 1)

6/30/2016

Hey Team,
 
How is everyone today? (I am not sure how I will get the answer to that, with this being a blog and all.)
 
In this post I will provide you with five ideas to keep in mind when trying to build strong, healthy, and empowering teacher-student relationships.

The following list has been devised after reading several research articles, reflecting on positive and inspirational teachers and coaches I have had, as well as consulting with a handful of experienced teachers to get their opinions on the matter.

Josh’s Tips For Supporting Great Teacher-Student Relationships!

1. Build trust: Building trust can be done by listening to your students, being honest with your students, and being fair to your students.

2. Provide a culture of support: Providing a culture of support is very important. You need to support your students' growth, teach your students to support each other’s growth, and let your students support your growth.

3. Provide a source of positive input: For many students, the teacher is their only source of positive input and reinforcement. It is your job to provide a source of positivity and encouragement for your students. If you show you believe in them, then this might help them to believe in themselves. 

4. You need to care: If your student is falling behind – care! If your student can’t tie their shoes – care! If your student seems upset or worried – care! If your content is boring – care! If your student can’t afford lunch – care! (If you don’t’ care, they won’t care – simple as that!)

5. Provide stability: Of course classrooms and learning environments should be dynamic, but they also need to have a certain amount of stability. Keep your emotions in check, keep incentives and punishments consistent, and set rules for the class that everyone can agree upon.
 
If you have any ideas that you would like to share, feel free to post them in the comments section.

Have a great day,
 
Josh
