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.

“Building Relationships for Greater Success has given me lots of great ideas and ways to make my teaching more student centered, putting them as people above anything else including the curriculum. Having younger kiddos I realized it’s important to teach them how to self talk a concept I have avoided but plan to put into practice. This course has empowered me to take this risk this upcoming school year.” Kristie S. OH

“This course gave me several good nuggets of wisdom for both my own children and my students. Reminders to be purposeful in catching people doing good and to praise them specifically for it are necessary in the current age of distraction. Kids need positive enthusiasm and skills to begin using positive self talk. We may be the only people in their lives who model that so being reminded of the power of our impact and influence is crucial.” Christine B., OH
