Everyone Needs A Champion…
What is a Champion? Why is it important?
Everyone Needs A Champion…
 Every child needs a champion…our premise is that
teachers need champions, too.
 Administrators should “champion” teachers so that
teachers can provide a healthy environment for
students.
“Where trust and cooperative adults’
efforts are strong, students report
that they feel safe, sense that
teachers care about them, and
experience greater academic
challenge.”
--Sebring and Bryk
Why Relationships?
Schools with high
relational trust have a 1 in
2 chance of showing gains
in student achievement
Schools with low relational
trust have a 1 in 7 chance
of showing gains in student
achievement.

What are Relationships?

development?
