It is critical for the administration, teachers, and staff to build powerful personal connections with each student, demonstrate they care and avoid expressing anger toward their students. Students seem to listen to teachers when they know they care.

The power of personal bonding with students can help some students to shed their angry posturing and can lead to enhancing the internal motivation of students to learn and succeed. This combination can have a positive impact on enhancing self-esteem, self-confidence, and motivation to continue to learn. I began greeting my students this way the very next day, and never stopped. If you teach by the book, page by page, day by day, you will lose your motivation for teaching and your students will lose their motivation for learning.

The happiest teachers are constantly tuned in to their students and move with their ever-changing rhythms. They just are. Take time to laugh often. A positive note home, a short email, a compliment call, even a shout out from the car window at dismissal! Even on those days when your students seem to have been plotting against you, there are always those students that make your day a little brighter.

My teammate and dear friend, Sara, used to email parents every Friday afternoon to share something positive about each child, and it was the perfect way to end the week with a feeling that you made a difference not only for students, but for their families. Take a small moment to share some love with parents, watch them swell with pride and appreciation, and then bask in the positivity that comes right back in your direction.

Forming relationships with other adults is crucial to your sanity and survival as a teacher, AND will help you grow in your practice. So stop closing your door and start letting in some teacher friends. Share a cup of coffee. And value his or her response. Grading papers during your lunch break? Go sit with a teacher friend and grade together.

Discuss the newest lineup of Bachelor contestants during car duty. Whatever form of bonding or act of kindness you choose, the need for adult interactions and relationships will bring you a much greater sense of happiness and fulfillment about your job. Your students need you. Your colleagues need you. And you only have one year to shape those little minds.
