Course Details

Most individuals remember a teacher who made a positive impact on their education. Who was that teacher for you? What made them special? What positive memories are you holding on to so many years later? An educator who builds genuine, positive relationships with their students is equipped with a key asset that can make an incredible impact on the climate of teaching and learning in their classroom. In this course, educators will delve into specific strategies within two texts that address the range of levels of communication that occur between teachers and students, and how to turn those moments into opportunities for building and fostering positive relationships. Learning from explicit examples, samples of teacher-student conversation, and a wide range of approaches, teachers will gain insight into the transformative power of positive relationships. Educators will design and work on two flexible projects applicable to their current teaching positions and circumstances. By the end of this course, educators will be equipped with knowledge, strategies, and newly designed tools to help build genuine and meaningful relationships with their students.
