Personal relationship building
Personal relationship building is how to have good relation with students, no matter what their background is and no matter what teachers' background is. Students will remember how the teacher teaches them and how he\she let them feel.
There are many results of personal relationship building; one of the important results is better achievement. When students feel comfortable and safe, they will achieve more. There are six key teacher traits that must be in the teacher in order to build a good relationship with students.

3-      Respect students. Ways to show respect:
a.       Treat students as valued humans
b.      Give them chances to express their opinions

6-      Humor and fun: laugh with them not at them.

  3. Unfortunately, sometimes teachers think that they have these traits, but students don't feel them. This leads to an unsuccessful relationship where teachers feel confident about what they have and students,also, feel confident about what they feel. Nice topic jejee 😋
