Relationships Matter: Watch Rita Pierson
Relationships Matter
Welcome back to 2016! As you return, I would encourage that your time and energies be focused on relationships and modeling those relationship that set the learning climate. Because learning is always double-coded—both cognitively (based on the content) and emotionally (based on the relationship)—relationships inherently enhance or detract from learning. Emotions are the motivation for learning. When learning is attached to emotion, it is remembered longer. It is also make it more relevant, as it is tied to the human experience. Think about the most memorable & remarkable times in your life--the reason you can remember them so vividly and heed them with such positivity is because they are attached to an experience (wedding, birth, vacation, graduation).
Here is one of my recent favorite tweets about the importance of positive relationships with your students:
