What does it mean to be relational as a teacher? How will you interact with your students to accomplish this?
Relational means being able to establish positive relationships with the students. This is one of the most critical variables that are needed as a teacher to student relationship. Making and maintaining a positive and a supportive connection with students.
As a teacher, I believe that I should be able to understand the capacities that each one of my students have. Understanding there needs and capabilities, will help to motivate the students and will have a positive academic impact in all that they accomplish. Being able to see that day-to-day conditions of my classroom leads to a culmination of my student's abilities. Establish good relationships with my students will allow me the opportunity to get to know each one of them well enough to be able to access their abilities and be able to teach to their needs. I believe that teachers must be able to know their student's and be able to work closely with each one of them everyday.
Getting to know something special about each students is a great way to connect. It can be little things like what cereal they like :o)
