Building Relationships with Students

I attended a conference yesterday put on the the Marzano folks. Here is one of the videos they shared about relationships.




"No significant learning can without significant relationship." (-James Comer) (1:07)

This is what Tom Forkner sent out recently. We don't always get appreciated for what we do, but we don't do for the appreciation, do we? (Not that some appreciation wouldn't be nice sometimes. )

 

So even though we don't do it for the appreciation, the appreciation is still a positive thing. Doesn't that apply to students as well?
