Building Relationships with Megan Geise
Show Notes

Megan Geise, second grade teacher in Pennsylvania, joins Danielle and Sari to discuss building relationships with students. This has always been a top priority to Megan throughout her twenty two years of teaching. Megan talks about small actions that can go a long way such as mailing letters to students, speaking with students one-on-one, and really getting to know her students on a personal level. Megan also shares a system she uses in her classroom called "Morning Bins," and how this helps her establish a positive classroom community and build trust with her students. She closes out by reiterating the importance of phone calls home.
