Building Relationships for Greater Success in the Classroom (OH only, three locations)

REGISTRATION AVAILABLE 01/01/2023

How many teachers take the time to connect with students on a personal level? How do you find the time?

Teachers who manage to transcend the normal student-teacher relationships can benefit everyone in school and, along the way, prevent school violence, support school safety, improve school climate, and promote learning. This course outlines dozens of positive strategies for bridging the gap between teacher and student through personal, academic, and social connections. Easily tailored to any learning environment, these activities and guidelines will provide you with the tools you need to succeed in the classroom or on the playing field. As both teachers/coaches alter their own attitudes and behaviors, they learn to listen to students and accommodate their needs. The end result will be lasting relationships that can foster deeper understanding and growth for educators and students alike.
