Tue, 16 Feb 2021 Caroline Chartier Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas Building Rapport: ✅ How to Connect with Students Being a teacher is more than teaching the subject matter that you are paid to deliver. We have a lot of impact on the kids that enter through our classroom doors and reside in our halls. Teaching is made easier when a teacher forms a strong connection with her students.

However, making those connections with specific students will help you as a teacher have a better classroom and strengthen relationships with the rest of your class.
