EDUT 5036 Building Relationships in Classroom

Building Strong Relationships in the Classroom: Care to Connect

Building relationships in a classroom with and among students of different cultural, language and life experiences can be a challenge for many teachers, but this course can help! Students are universally social beings who are hard wired with the need to connect. By taking time to cultivate deep, authentic connections, educators can make a positive impact on student confidence and ultimately achievement. In this course, educators will examine the role that relationships play in creating the ideal learning environment and explore research-based strategies for developing strong individual and community connections as well as managing behavior challenges with non- punitive interventions.
