Innovating
I adapt behaviors and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations.
A teacher actively seeks out students for informal conferences and uses the information she gathers to inform future interactions with students. She notices that some students need extra encouragement and interaction to feel welcome and comfortable in class, so she makes an effort to connect with those students about their interests more often.

Applying
I use verbal and non- verbal behaviors that indicate affection for students, and I monitor the extent to which my actions affect students.
A teacher tries a variety of strategies to indicate affection for students. The teacher monitors how students react to various strategies to determine which strategies work best for which students. For example, the teacher notices that one student seems to respond better to being given special responsibilities than he does to joking around.

Developing
I use verbal and non- verbal behaviors that indicate affection for students, but I
do not monitor the effect on students.
A teacher posts a photo bulletin board, attends after-school functions in which students participate, and tries to have informal conferences with each of his students to get to know them. However, he does not monitor the effects of his relationship-building efforts on students.

Beginning
I use the strategies and behaviors associated with this element incorrectly or with parts missing.
A teacher uses verbal and nonverbal behaviors to indicate affection for some students. However, she does not use these behaviors to indicate affection for all the students in her class, thus making some students feel very welcome while alienating others.

Not Using
