Description

We humans are a social species, and our brains are wired for loving and being loved. When we’re intentional about building positive, appropriate relationships with the students in our classes, the effectiveness and enjoyment of both teaching and learning are enhanced. Relationship is key, and it’s built upon a foundation of teacher caring, aka love. Find out how we can unleash the power of agape love in our classes!
