Building Connection & Trust
Scenario 1 of 5
Emily, a 1st-grade student, is very quiet, rarely participates in class, and tends to play by herself during recess.
Praise her for being a quiet, independent worker.
Assign her to be a group leader to force her to participate more.
Intentionally create small, positive "micro-moments of connection" with her daily to build the Trust-Building Cycle.
Call on her more often so she gets used to speaking in class.
