A1) Relationships are at the heart of the learning process. They cause us to work harder or shut down.
#mnlead

A1. I think relationships are KEY! Without them students are less engaged......usually!
#mnlead

A1) I believe relationships build trust. Trust is the essential component for S to want to engage! Can't teach w/o it!

If you have a relationship with your students they will trust you and that will lead to more risk taking and engagment.

A1 Needs to be trust btwn Ss & Ts. If there's no trust, there is no relationship & everything is based on relationships we cultivate

A1) Ts and Ss need to both teach and learn together. Without relationship strength, the links for each are broken.
