Establishing Rapport Section IV

“A positive emotional connection among students, teacher, and subject matter that emerges from the manner in which the teacher constructs the learning environment” Establishing Rapport Buskist, W., & Saville, B. (2002). Rapport-building: Creating positive emotional contexts for enhancing teaching and learning. APS Observer, 14(3).

Individually, recall an educator who was particularly effective at establishing rapport in the classroom. Establishing Rapport With a partner, discuss: 1.What did rapport look like in this classroom? 1.How was the teacher able to make it happen?

Learn your students’ names Establish credibility and build connections Use icebreakers to engage students Create a comfortable learning environment Encourage questions, discussions, and other student interactions Establishing Rapport

Build rapport, but maintain authority. Classroom environment Peer interactions Class participation Respect the space and equipment Quality of student investment and work Instructor responsibilities Availability, accessibility, office hours Teaching style/philosophy Setting Classroom Expectations

Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through DAS should contact DAS immediately at (541) "

Student Conduct Code [SAMPLE] College of Forestry You will be expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner. Academic dishonesty such as plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated. Therefore, students are expected to be honest and ethical in their academic work. Academic dishonesty is defined as an intentional act of deception in one of the following areas: cheating, fabrication, assisting, tampering, or plagiarism. For more information about academic integrity and the University's policies and procedures in this area, please refer to the Student Conduct web site at: and the section on Academic Regulations in the OSU Schedule of Classes.

Setting Classroom Expectations [EXAMPLE] This course requires approximately two hours outside of class for every hour spent in class. The following behaviors, attitudes, and efforts toward the class are valued by faculty; your success in the course and in college depends on these behaviors: Attend all classes Be prepared Do your best Collaborate

Setting Classroom Expectations [EXAMPLE] College of Education You are expected to be present and engaged in class, which means that you will be free from technological distractions. Please refrain from using cell/smart phones in the classroom out of respect for your classmates and your instructor.
