Developing Positive Student-Teacher Relationships Why are positive student-teacher relationships so important? Teach with passion and enthusiasm Attitudes can influence students' responses, with young students responding positively to animation, while mature students value genuine care and passion from teachers. Invest time in learning about your students At the start of the year, it's crucial to learn about each student by asking them to write a letter detailing their needs. Regularly referencing these letters helps build a positive relationship with them. Understanding their interests and areas of need is also beneficial. Offering assistance without asking is a trust-building move, as it allows you to provide support without being asked. Talk to your class with respect Treat others as you want to be treated, as this is the golden rule. Students can notice when they're being talked down to, and mutual respect is essential for building relationships. In the classroom, take a moment to breathe and respond the way you wish a teacher responded, as this can go a long way. Find out about their interests Everyone has a passion, understanding students' passions can enhance lesson plans. Incorporating class plays or creative projects can boost enthusiasm and strengthen the Connection between teachers and students. For instance, incorporating a class play/role playing into lessons or allowing artists to showcase their skills in art can help students showcase their learning experiences. Be forthcoming with mistakes When you make a mistake, be honest about it. It will not only teach them about handling errors with grace but it will model how you want your students to behave in class. It's okay to make mistakes, and if students see you doing so, they may be more willing to take risks, knowing they're in a safe space. Show an interest in their life outside of school Many teachers today mistakenly view school as the only thing in the world, neglecting students' busy lives outside the classroom. Showing interest in these aspects can build trust with students. This can be achieved through attending school events, cheering on students, or reducing homework workload during significant events. Say hello everyday
It might seem like a small gesture
but by saying hello to each of your students every day you are establishing a regular point of connection. Greet each student by name and let them know you see them. Within the first 5 minutes of your day you have already had a personal moment with each of your learners. It starts every day off on the right foot. TEACHER MO! SHARE MO! 5 Ways to Establish Positive Parent-Teacher Relationships First Impressions Teachers should be friendly and approachable, showing a genuine interest in parents' concerns. Sharing personal anecdotes fosters relatability and compassion, helping parents see Teachers as caring individuals beyond their educator role. These strategies build trust and rapport, benefiting the child's education and development. Communication Techniques Effective teacher-parent communication and collaboration are vital for a child's academic success. Using diverse tools, setting clear goals, and offering regular updates build trust and parental involvement. Positive feedback strengthens the supportive partnership between educators and parents. Learn from Parents Teachers can learn from parents in the same way that parents can learn from parents. As kids get older, parents are less frequently asked how they can help or are at a loss for ideas. Tell your parents how they can assist you. Give them ideas on how they may assist at home and in the classroom. Provide ways they can help at home and in the classroom. Try getting to know what skills, passions, and interests a parent has. Invite them to share their knowledge with the class. Be Resourceful When parents come with questions, point them in the right direction where they can find help. If you share a concern, be prepared to suggest resources. Another thing you can do is create a resource. Great platforms for building websites include WordPress, Wix and Weebly. If families do not have internet access, prepare a pamphlet or a newsletter and distribute them to parents. Explain Decisions and Invite Input Invite parents to have inputs in decision making. Give them the information needed to form an opinion and listen to their solutions. Many parents may not understand certain aspects of the educational system (i.e. standardized testing, curriculum choices, proper protocols). Two heads are better than one and the parent may have knowledge you’re unaware of or come up with a solution that you may not have thought of. Thank you for listening! :)
