Relationships Matter

pd-banner2

Just like tilling the soil before planting season, building relationships with students involves hard work, dedication, and continuous effort. Research on today’s children shows more than ever that students need a sense of belonging in order to see academic growth. These connections provide the necessary roots for all kids to relate and grow in powerful ways, both academically and socially. Join us for this session to share with fellow educators your current practices and gain new tools for connecting with those hard to reach students.
