Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 5 and watch  Rita Pierson at TED Talks Education: Every Kid Needs a Champion (Links to an external site.).

Review the week 2 Jose and Olivia (Links to an external site.) interactivity for new information. Select one of these students to write about. In your response, discuss how you will work to develop a relationship with this student. Share at least three different strategies you will use to ensure you build a connection with your student. Explain why you think each of your strategies will make a positive impact. Additionally, share at least two different suggestions/strategies that you will suggest to his/her parent(s) to further build this bond. Lastly, give an example from Rita Pierson’s TED Talk that will help you explain why you think it is so important to develop a relationship with every young child.
