The document outlines Jessi's favorite strategies for connecting with students on a personal, academic, and social level. On a personal level, these include greeting students, offering appreciation, sharing imperfections, calling and visiting students. Academically, Jessi suggests taking photos of student work, offering congratulations and recognition, giving wait time, and making mistakes. Socially, the strategies involve having problem-solving centers, letting students make rules, encouraging complaint letters, and fostering exchanges. Jessi's overall philosophy is that small positive interactions matter most and teachers should support students through structure and positivity.
