Relationship Building In any part of a school’s culture:
‘Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.’ ‘Teachers/staff don’t care how much you know, until they know how much admin/other ‘bosses’ care (no one wants to work at a ‘blah’ place).’
‘Parents don’t care how ‘great’ a school might seem, until they know how much all members of a school care about their child/children.’
-A variation of the words by John Wooden and Madeline Hunter
● Creating Relationships with students
● Recognizing the students as individuals
● Sharing your interests
