There is an art to building relationships with students, and it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation. Maybe you’re like me and my guest, Ryan Colon, who became math teachers because of our love for the content (and not as much for the warm-and-fuzzy stuff). Ryan’s goal was to radically change her students’ mindsets around what math means to them, and she shares ways she built relationships with her students THROUGH the math content. The root of the word RELATIONSHIP is RELATE, so regardless of how you make it happen, the most important thing is to find ways to authentically relate with your students. It’s possible to connect in ways that suit both you and your students, and as a result, begin to see each other as multi-dimensional.
