1.Acknowledge them:
to show appreciation on their work and effort. so the teacher most show the students that i see you. for example if the students was absent and he/she come in the next day the teacher must ask him why he/she was absent, because if the teacher don't ask he will feel that if I was in class or not the teacher will not care. also acknowledging the students may be by greeting them individually, or by memorizing all the students' name correctly.
2.Communicating value:
praising the students or showing respect to what they say or what they do, and this happens through:
- showing interest in what they like
- being a good listener to their problems
- high expectations
- reestablishing
- being accessible to the students
3.Respect:
the teacher must spread the respect in class between the students and between the teacher and the students, for example by saying thank you, and please in ordering something to the students.
4.Fairness:
we should treat all the students in the same way. Many times teachers believe that they are fair but the students don't sense it. When the students feel that the teacher is fair, then she is fair. Fairness can happen through caring about all students and not about high achievers also it can happen through eye contact with all the students not only with specific students.
5.Realness:
the teacher should be real with the students to let them feel that I eat like you and I drink like you, so I can listen to your problems because you and me are humans and have problems so we can listen to each others.
6.Humor & Fun:
it means to laugh with the students and don't laugh on them, and sometimes you need to give the students a break, so they can laugh and have fun.
100% true, those are the essential things.

ReplyDeletegreat relationship between teacher and students can make an amazing climate in the classs
ReplyDeleteI wish all teachers were aware of the importance of building positive relationships with their pupils. Unfortunately, some believe that being friendly to a student is unaccepted, and instead of building bridges of understanding and mutual respect with their students, they build high fences of fear and anxiety.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice topic to have discussion about, since building a good relationship between teacher and students will appear in students performance and will increase their achievements.
