In this breakout session, I’ll introduce the Rule of Seven, a concept from marketing in the business world that suggests people need at least seven positive impressions before taking action. In education, this means making intentional, daily connections with students—like greeting them at the door, attending their events, or a personalized class playlist. I’ll share practical examples for elementary through high school and provide a simple framework for implementing this in any classroom. These consistent interactions build trust and foster relationships, creating a safe, supportive environment where students feel valued, increasing engagement, participation, and their willingness to take academic risks.
