Connected relationships are one of the special joys of being human. They are what bring us to life and they help us grow. We all feel the pleasure of spending time and sharing stories with the people in our lives who we care for. By building stronger and more connected relationships when working with our students, not only will we enjoy spending time together, but our students will build trust in us and will, therefore, experience an increase in positive outcomes; socially, emotionally and educationally.
