Grow Relationships – Relationships represent the foundation upon which an inclusive classroom climate sits. Such relationships include both faculty-student and student-student interactions. Additionally, relationships are drastically affected by the expectations that are communicated and modeled throughout the course. Thus, the first principle is aimed at establishing a “learner- centered” classroom climate by promoting meaningful positive relationships. a.
