Learning and using names is probably the simplest, most direct way for you as a teacher to demonstrate interest in your students. By learning and using your students’ names, you succeed in building trust, increasing teacher-student rapport, and making it more likely that students will participate in class discussion—all factors that can contribute to student academic success.
In this session, Dr. Ike Shibley will discuss the benefits of learning and using students’ names and will present specific techniques that you can implement to help you learn students’ names as well as support the learning of names by everyone in class.
