Building Relationships with Students with Cheryl Hester and Deanessa Zuniga

This was a great session that helped participants learn new strategies for developing relationships with students and coworkers. We divided into teams and we each created a school and came up with more descriptive names for our current roles.
One Team Example:
School Name- The Dream Academy which specializes in finding out the students' dreams and showing them how to get there. The renamed roles were:
Administrators- Dream Guides
School Community- Dream Weavers
Students- Dreamers
Counselors- (Dream) Spirit Catchers
Teachers- Dream Angels

  1. Building community is vital to gauging the pulse of the classroom! If you didn't get a chance to participate in the Building Effective Relationships session during the leadership retreat, don't worry! More sessions are offered in August! Look for it on e-campus!
