Personally connect to every student every day of class

People must relate in order to educate, thus teachers must find methods to engage with pupils from the start of each class day. When pupils enter a face-to-face classroom, the teacher stands at the door. The teacher calls them by name and looks them in the eyes to notice changes.

In zoom, teachers have to greet students differently. After the students in the class have finished their work, the teacher has zoom time with the students who are online. They turn on cameras if they are willing. If not, they can converse or even send private messages. They understand that the teacher does not need to know why they are absent, but the teacher does want to know how they are doing. Most students want their teachers to ask how they are doing. It makes a difference, and students are aware that teachers care.
