47 [TT] Relationships: Not Just Your Classroom Management Fluff

Teaching Science In 3D

So I learned the hard way the importance of relationships for classroom management.

Have you been there?
I totally trashed my classroom culture my first year... rookie mistake.
And while I was busy rebuilding my classroom community so I could, you know, function on the day to day, I considered establishing strong student relationships as part of my classroom management strategy.
I didn’t realize the profound impact it would actually have on my students’ ability to LEARN.

As I’ve learned how our brain is hardwired, I have realized how fundamentally important positive student-teacher relationships are — they are literally the FIRST step to “priming” our students to engage with our content.

Let's chat why in this bonus Thursday Thoughts episode!
