DESCRIPTION:
This session will explore how our lives have become more and more transactional and in direct conflict with building relationships with students. Learn how – at the end of the day – the positive relationship-building between educators and their students remains at the heart of success. It’s a presentation chock full of personal experience from a presenter who navigated challenges as a teenager and the educators who went out of their way to make a difference. It’s a heart-warming validation of the work we do as educators.
