Welcome back to another solo episode with you, me, and the mic. In this episode, I will be talking about what is the outcome when we use these tools to connect the kids because there is no one way to build and sustain a relationship. We will also talk about how to use the cross-connecting model to make a difference and build a community in the classroom. Let's jump into this episode and dig in more about cross-connecting and the outcome of the tools that we use to build connections with kids. [00:01 - 01:35] Opening Segment I want to invite you to our Virtual Conference 13th -14th July 2021, with an amazing lineup of speakers.

[01:36 - 07:36] The Outcome Of Relationship Building Tools Three areas of cross-connection. Student to student Student to teacher Teacher to student Through that cross-connection model, we could truly build community. What is your As card in building relationships with kids? Think about your Go-to building relationship activity and your thought process. Aspects to consider when choosing the activity Does it provide the opportunity for students to learn about each other? Does it create the opportunity for you to learn about your students? Does it create the opportunity for students to learn about you? I share an example from a brown bag activity Be intentional about your tools and the outcome. Are students going to learn about each other during this activity? Is the teacher given an opportunity to learn about the students? Are we intentionally telling the teacher to share and that they should share during these tools? We always have to incorporate all voices in the classroom. I challenge you to make sure that when you build a relationship in the classroom, incorporate your voice and let the student feel and appreciate your contribution to their community. Final words. Tweetable Quotes: “We have to think about building community; student to student, student to teacher, and teacher to student, it is an outcome that we believe is making a difference in our practices and our tools.” - Kevin Curtis. “Cross-connecting will truly help you build classroom community in the class no matter what tool you are using .” - Kevin Curtis. “Always incorporate all voices in the classroom.” - Kevin Curtis.
