Rapport Building

 Create a positive and supportive learning environment.

Establish a positive and supportive environment by communicating a sense of enthusiasm and excitement. Sprinkle in elements of surprise and delight—such as themed activities or mystery rewards—to create moments that spark joy and let learners know they matter. Praise often and incorporate cheers or positive rituals to build confidence and motivation. Use consistent routines and transitions to create a sense of safety and structure, and design the physical environment to promote positivity—for example, with warm lighting, colorful materials, or music. These strategies foster a warm, inclusive atmosphere that enhances learning and development.
