is one of the best ways of building relationships and
trust. Building respect in the classroom will help
manage the classroom effectively.

Active Listening is an effective way of showing
you value a person’s opinion. The teacher should show
that they are listening by making eye contact and
stopping other activities. It creates rapport with your
students, by showing your genuine interest in what
they have to say.

13. Share relevant personal stories and anecdotes:
By demonstrating a connection between your
life and students, you will be able to effectively reach
out to students. After sharing your personal story, asks
students if they have ever done or encountered
something similar.

14. Offer one – on – one support:
Each student in the classroom should receive
individual assistance at some point. Make time to offer
individual support before or after class. By making
time for each and every student, you will able to help
them academically and connect with them on a more
personal level as well.
