Feedback, empathy, and love: powerful components to build a successful classroom and school!

[Eric Sheninger @E_Sheninger]

To build powerful relationships with all learners:

1. Love your kids more than the subject you teach and/or the grade level you work with.

2. Use feedback and positive reinforcement as the main learning motivator, not grades or marks.

3. Be empathetic.
