You should never trespass into the 'friend zone' with your students, but it's immensely valuable to be a friendly teacher. I had my students make a triangular prism nameplate to keep on their desks for the first few weeks while I was getting to know them. Side 1. Name. Side 2. Personal motto. Side 3. Their gifts and talents and ambitions/dreams. Some of my students spent hours decorating and personalizing them. It gave me something to praise them for while I was learning that Susie wanted to be a designer and that John wanted to do a parachute jump. Great job, Sue. You deserve a larger audience.
