Connecting with Students

Before we are able to teach students, or manage behaviour, we must form connections with them. When children know that we are genuinely interested in learning about who they are as people, and want to make real connections with them, they are more receptive in our classrooms. At Ekya, and CMR NPS we take this very seriously. Structures to form connections with students are embedded in our day-to-day interactions with them. Here are a few things you can do to form connections with students. 

In addition to connecting with students in the classroom, we use multiple routines and tools to organize the learning environment.
