A1 We can build relationships by being authentic, taking time and getting to know the real kids in front of us. What do they like, what is their story, who is their family, what are their passions. Invite them into your school family. Love them. #eduAR
A1 One key to building great relationships with kids is to really listen with your heart! So many of our kids have few adults who take the time to truly listen. I try to make each child feel valued and heard. #lovethemliketheyareyourown#eduar
A1: I build positive relationships by asking Ss at unexpected times how they are and for updates on things they've mentioned to me #LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn#EduAR
A1: Finding time outside of instruction to get to know Ss. Inviting students for lunch bunch, celebrating their successes, acknowledging their birthdays. Remembering the little things matter. #EduAR

A1: Greet kids EVERY morning w/ hugs, fist bumps, music, dancing, conga line, limbo. Eat lunch w/kids. Play w/them at recess. Go to their extracurricular activities after and outside of school. It’s so fun to watch kids “do their thing” & builds long lasting relationships.
#EduAR
A1: Greet Ss as they enter the classroom. Smile, high-five, get to know their interests and let kids in on your life. Show students respect, have high expectations, collaborate with Ss to solve problems & create a safe environment. #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn

A2: #KidsDeserveIt & research shows constructive teacher student relationships rank high on Hattie’s list of influences that have a positive impact on students’ academic results. #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A1. Ss will respond positively when a T is enthusiastic & passionate about the content they are teaching. Excitement is contagious! When a teacher introduces new content enthusiastically, students will buy in. They may get just as excited as the T !! #eduar
A1 By listening to them and seeing them with my heart...Finding what lights them up, unlocking their potential, seeing the very best in them and then making sure I never miss a chance to tell them how much I believe in them, value them, and love them just as they are! #eduAR
A2: Being in education since 1970 as a T, Principal, Supt & now consultant, I have come to realize that no meaningful learning will occur w/out relationships that are meaningful #EduAR
A2: Our kids come to us from a wide variety of home settings. We need to provide them with love, consistency, a safe place, a while teaching them the academics. If we can do that, there's no stopping their potential!! #eduAR

A2: Strong teacher-kid relationships make for strong teacher-family relationships. That is a win for the child. Working together in the child’s best interest...powerful. #EduAR
#EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn As a matter of authenticity, building strong relationships is a MUST. If you just love your content...write a book...don't eneter a classroom...you have to love kids to teach.
A2 If you want kids to trust you and learn with you, they need to know you care. Take care of their heart and they will care to learn. Sometimes, the only omace kids feel love and safety is at school; let us give them that foundation. Give them HOPE. #eduAR
A2 When students have the positive relationship with a teacher, they work SO much harder and grow more in that area. Plus, kids need positive role models, and we can be that. #eduar

A2 if you don’t have a strong relationship, your students and you will suffer. You both need this strong bond to break through barriers & overcome struggles. #EduAR
A2 Relationships are the key in any classroom! It’s true that “Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”, and “they can’t learn from people they don’t like”, so for learning to happen, we must invest in their lives and hearts for real! #eduar
A1. T&L should not be boring. Ss love to laugh. Ts should incorporate humor into their daily lessons. This may be sharing an appropriate joke related to the content you will be teaching that day. It may be getting into character & donning a silly costume for a lesson. #eduar

A2: One of the many reason it’s important to build relationships with kids is so that we can learn what kids love & we can create learning experiences with kids meaningful—or it’s meaningless.
Build relationships.
Know your kids.

A3. It is pivotal to be empathetic and understand others so we see their perspectives- this leads to trust and foundation for great relationship. #EDUAR
A3: Empathy is the essence of positive relationships. If we can see our Ss perspective, we are more likely to be able to turn them on to learning. #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A2. When Ts build +ve relationships with Ss, the classrm becomes a safe learning-friendly environment where Ss feel confident taking risks & pushing their intellect to higher levels. Knowing how Ss think & what they like also gives Ts a chance to individualize instruction. #eduar
A3 We have to be willing to consider what it would be like to walk in our children’s shoes to understand how to reach them and teach them. So many of them are walking horrific paths and we must be sensitive to their stories to play a real role in their journeys. #eduar
A3. It is pivotal to be empathetic and understand others so we see their perspectives- this leads to trust and foundation for great relationship. #EDUAR
A3: It's everything!! Our kids need to know that we not only hear them, but that we also understand. Knowing that they are understood is essential! #eduAR
A2 Student-Teacher relationships are more important than rigor, relevance and technology. Students will learn if they believe the Teachers care about them. #EduAR
A3 We must empathize with out students to show them we genuinely care. That's part of listening with our heart. They need validation for their thoughts, feelings, concerns, and so on. If we are indifferent, we are essentially closing a door. #LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn#eduar
A3 Empathy is a must in building relationships. Know what they are feeling; put yourself in their shoes, give them the support they need. If you don’t understand them, you can’t love them. If you don’t love them, you can’t help them. Be the light. Be the difference. #eduAR
A3: Through empathy Ss learn to understand each other helping them to build friendships that are based on positive relationships of respect & trust. #EduAR
A3 Empathy comes from authentic relationships and it doesn't lessen your own beliefs or convictions, yet it allows you to truly support a student on a deeper level. #morethanwords#LoveThemLikeYourOwn #eduar

Q4: Knowing that our students will disappoint us at times, how can we prevent this disappointment from damaging our relationship? #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A3. Ts who allow Ss to act, think, speak, & perform their various social identities without judgment create the atmosphere for high-quality S-T interactions. The quality or efficacy of such interactions supports the production of positive academic & social outcomes for Ss. #eduar
A3. Over time, teachers who sharpen their perspective-taking skills are more likely to become adept at responding to the social and intellectual needs of students than those who do not. #eduar
A2 Student-Teacher relationships are more important than rigor, relevance and technology. Students will learn if they believe the Teachers care about them. #EduAR
Who wants to spend the majority of their day with people they don’t genuinely like?? Kids and adults respond better to people who make them feel at home. #EduAR
Q4: Knowing that our students will disappoint us at times, how can we prevent this disappointment from damaging our relationship? #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A4: We can reinforce that we care too much about them to let them get by with inappropriate behavior. We can hold them to a high standard. Get on them when needed and then wipe the slate clean and love on them-just like a loving parent. #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A3: We cannot truly know but must try to understand what it’s like being a child/student now. Similarities but differences from when we all were. Must have that perspective to have a relationship #EduAR
A4 Use disappointments as lessons in growth. None of us is perfect, but we CAN all grow. When you know better, do better. Sometimes disappointments occur when kids don't know better. We should use them as learning opportunities. #eduar
Q4: Knowing that our students will disappoint us at times, how can we prevent this disappointment from damaging our relationship? #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A3. Importantly, empathy has been characterized as multidimensional. It includes both an emotional (empathic concern) and an intellectual (perspective taking) domain. #eduar
A3 (re:empathy): You guys may have moved on to Q4, but I’m still processing Q3. This is loaded. I only know a portion of their story and honestly, the difference between my foundation growing up and some of our st’s is likely one or two decisions... made by my parents. #eduar
Q4: Knowing that our students will disappoint us at times, how can we prevent this disappointment from damaging our relationship? #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A4: I think disappointments and failures have many similarities. Not sure if we disappoint Ss and can share that but we can definitely share failures. Think it’s always good to make ourselves more real and relatable #EduAR

A4. (1/2) Employing empathy in the professional teaching context is an elaborate cyclical process that includes perspective taking, teacher decision-making,
and student feedback #eduar
This is awesome! We have one going on in central Arkansas as well in this date! Edcamps are AMAZING! If you live in NW Arkansas, Tulsa, OKC, or south MO...it will be worth the drive for you to attend this! #EdcampNWA#EduAR
Aa3 empathy allows you to express true concern, allows you to connect a deeper lever. Sometimes they need to you you may not be able to fix everything but you can love them through it. #EduAR
A4. (2/2) The more empathy in teachers’ verbal and physical exchanges with students, the greater the likelihood his or her interactions with students will produce the intended academic and behavioral outcomes. #eduar
A4: We focus on the behavior of the student. The behavior is communicating something - on ‘good’ and ‘hard’ (not bad) days. Tomorrow... is a new day. #eduar
A4 Avoid creating expectations. We all want students to be a certain way. Instead of planning things, let kids learn. Support them. Know that they need to learn by failing. Listen to their hearts, you can never go wrong. #eduAR

A5: I would expect to see Ts who are not afraid to show love toward their Ss while at the same time push kids to their full potential. #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A4: I believe it's a mindset. We aren't perfect. How can we expect our students to be? Failures are just opportunities to learn. That's why we are in this business, to make our world a better place! #eduAR
A4. Ss learn from their mistakes; they must be allowed to make them! Motivate Ss to not give-up & to continue to advance. In this way, the reward for learning remains the focus & a constructive way of dealing with mistakes is an important foundation of this. #eduar
A4. There are different kinds of mistakes. Careless mistakes, systematic mistakes, misconceptions – the root cause of mistakes can have many sources. It is not enough that Ss know that they have made a mistake; they also need to receive feedback on where the mistake lies. #eduar
A5 It might be more about what I would NOT expect to see, and that is the bullying or very divisive peer groups that exist. Kindness would be prevalent with kids helping peers who are having a hard time, without being prompted. #eduar
A5 I think restorative discipline, general acceptance, and a below average number of disciplinary issues would be parts of a campus with a true culture of love. Also a more "family" feel. #LoveThemLikeYourOwn#eduar

A5 I would expect to see cooperation, mutual respect, students, teachers and admin smiling, encouraging each other...and learning on display in every possible way! I would see a family! #eduar
A5 A campus with a true culture of love is full of smiles. It has people saying hello, helping each other; servant leadership is a priority. A culture of love means learning includes doing things for the community. Go above and beyond. Support everyone. #eduAR
A5: I would expect to see Ts who are not afraid to show love toward their Ss while at the same time push kids to their full potential. #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A4 Building relationships from day one is most important. When you’ve connected and invested you’re less likely to give up. Remember we’ve all been on the disappointing end. #EduAR
A5. Ts are uniquely important, because of their capacity for ongoing reinforcement. When positive behavior is reinforced, it is far more likely to be demonstrated in the future. Plus, reinforcing one S’s positive behavior can also encourage other Ss to do the same. #eduar
One of my favorite guiding teacher quotes is, “ Before I can reach their minds, I must first capture their hearts.” Great name for a program promoting positive culture. Read about them online and interested to hear what experiences other schools have had!#EduAR
A4. Although Ts need to be role models who exemplify +ve behavior, it is important to let Ss know that mistakes are OK. When a T makes a bad choice for eg, they should let Ss know & communicate how to correct it; helps convey to Ss to take responsibility for their actions. #eduar
A5 What If school quality was actually measured by it’s culture? What if culture was more important than test scores? How could that truly impact our future in this nation? I say, in a very positive and real way! #eduar
A5. Creation of a +ve loving atmosphere is the joint responsibility of prof. & parent communities; when everyone is on the same page philosophically, when the school's objectives & how to get there are clearly understood, then all members of the community are embraced. #eduar

A2: it’s the basis of everything. Kids respond better (academically & behaviorally) when they feel connected, supported, & loved even when they make mistakes! #EduAR#LoveThemLikeTheyAreYourOwn
A4: remember they’re human and that they’re kids. Sometimes it hinders the relationship when we expect the same thing we expect for adults...for kids. Let them know it’s okay to make mistakes, it’s what we learn from it! #EduAR
