Looking for something completely different for your first day of school? As well as setting up procedures and expectations on the first day, it’s just as important to get to know your students and build a connection with each one.

Many studies show the importance of a positive teacher-student relationship for learning success. This one particular study below shows implications for practice, particularly for teachers, and the need to build positive relationships, offer appropriate instructional support, and make learning relevant to the real world.

Students will draw or write on the cell-phone template information about themselves so the teacher will better understand each student’s interest and goals for the year.
