Some strategies through which rapport with students can be built and maintained:
The best teachers are adept at incorporating strategies throughout the year so that a healthy relationship is established, then maintained with each student that they teach.
1. Send students a postcard before school begins letting them know how much you are looking forward to having them in class.
