Relationship-Building Skills
Nurturing relationships with emotional intelligence grounded in trust, respect, mutual understanding, and a spirit of collaboration.
Dimension Collaborating — Building Trust and Working Together
For me
- Which child in my class do I barely have a relationship with – and when would I have two minutes for it?
- Where do I check up although I could trust?
For my class
- How do you notice that someone likes you, even without them saying so?
- What would have to happen for you to trust someone again?
In the classroom
- The two-minute rule: for ten days, spend two minutes a day with the child you have the thinnest relationship with – about anything but school.
- Hand over responsibility: class duties, materials, break organisation without supervision.
