Five Principles to Strengthen Relationships with Students

Author Marcela Andrés offers five key principles to unlocking connections with students: know your why; understand context beyond compliance; foster meaningful interactions; design high-quality learning environments; and partner with key stakeholders. For each principle, she provides high-leverage practices and strategies you can implement, a case study to crystalize the concept, and reflection questions to apply to your practice. The book ends with a reminder to put your own oxygen mask on first, and a reminder of the power of human connection and the legacy you will create.

Muchas veces nos enfocamos en mejorar nuestras propias circunstancias pero se nos olvida mirar hacia atrás y echarle la mano a los que vienen detrás.

Many times we focus on improving our own circumstances but we forget to look back and lend a hand to those who come behind.
