Good idea. There are always some kids that you just can't remember their names. It's not fair. Doing something about it is really relevant. Relationships, classroom management, teaching, it changes everything.

Awesome idea. A relationship is key in the classroom and will greatly influence your success in and outside the classroom as an educator. Paz y bendiciones.

Learning should be joyful experience. Without connection you can't involve students in learning process. Let's prepare our students to face 21st century chaleges.

I do wish they address how to handle the student that doesn't wish to cooperate with our efforts to build a relationship.

problem is admin and district offices bog down teachers with so much extra. Like having them prove that they know the students they teach? Come on now. What we need is smaller class sizes, that way teachers can connect better.
