Allowing students to get to know you is vital to positive relationship building. Giving the story behind why you became a teacher is a good way to connect with them. Start out telling students about yourself following the 3-2-1 share method:

• Share 3 relevant experiences that will connect with students.
• Share 2 places you’ve visited or find interesting and want to visit.  
• Share 1 surprise you’re willing to share with others.
