The REAL Approach: A 4 Step Process for Connecting with Disengaged Students

The number one way to reach and teach disengaged students is to simply keep it R.E.A.L. The R.E.A.L. approach focuses on four areas of student- teacher interactions, (1) relationships, (2) expectations, (3) academic approaches and (4) Love. Rooted in the conceptual framework of cultural awareness, and cultural competencies, the R.E.A.L approach transforms teacher and student interactions. \nThe purpose of this session is to improve student academic outcomes by transforming teacher and student interactions.
