ABSTRACT

Gordon (2007) described the benefits of loving the people you associate with in any type of setting such as schools and places of business. He suggested that this outpouring of love enhances a group’s enthusiasm, productivity, and performance. But what does that love look like and how can you show love to your students? These suggestions may help you love your students:

Spend time with your students.

Learn about them as persons—ask about their hobbies and interests beyond the classroom.

Take the time to talk with and listen to your students.

Recognize their efforts and successes.

Make an effort to bring out the best in each student.
