Relationship building is the foundation, upon which, all other learning must be built. Attempting to teach a student who possesses no relationship with you or to the value of the education you wish to impart is counterproductive, at best. The more economically challenged or disadvantaged the child, the greater the need to establish a solid relationship.<br />
<br />
There is a mountain of research that points to the damage caused when the teacher or responsible adult does not develop a caring relationship with the student. Click the link below and view the Power Point presentation, "Relationship Building and Hope"<br />
