How can you change a negative rapport between a student and a staff member into a positive rapport? Is it even possible? Today, I am sharing an episode from inside the Special Educator Academy where I dive into the research behind ways to change negative rapport into positive rapport with your students.

We all know we need to build relationships with our students and pair ourselves with reinforcements. But what does that really mean? In this episode, I am helping make the concept of building rapport between students and staff in the classroom a bit more concrete by sharing three ways you or your staff can build positive rapport with your students.
