With our constantly changing culture, educators are faced with new
challenges in and outside of the classroom. These new challenges require
new thinking and new behaviors. In fact, a new paradigm is needed. This
new paradigm is winning student trust. For top educators, this is nothing
new. Building relationships and winning the trust of their students has
long been their secret. When people describe a teacher as having “it,” trust-
ing relationships and an incredible rapport is what they are talking about.
