What do you do well when connecting with your students?
I am able to develop a rapport with my students and let them know they are in a safe place while in my classroom and at any time during our tenure together. To further this my students have my home phone number and email as well as the capability to communicate through our school email - gaggle. They have respect for me and I for them because of this open door policy. I feel that having two children of my own has helped me develop relationships that I know were important to them. Even now, during the summer, my students are emailing and Im'ing and keeping in touch.
Do you have any concerns about connecting with your students?
The only concern I have is making sure the students understand the parameters of the communication and not taking it for granted that it impacts their grade in any way.
