The Importance of Building Positive Relationships with Students

This video (embedded below) of a TED Talk by Rita Pierson was shared with me recently.

I have watched it a couple of times before but I always find it well worth the eight minutes.

My favorite quote from Rita in this speech is, "Teaching and learning should bring joy!"

As you watch the video, reflect on The Wildcat Way and how one of our CORE values is "Relationships."

Teaching is THE most important job in the world and building relationships is Job #1 for teachers.

WJHS staff, thanks for all that you do!
