Creating a handshake with students can create a bond. A handshake is a type of communication that can help you build a positive relationship with a student. The handshakes should be different for each student. The students should help you make up the handshake. This is a great way to greet the students in the morning.

Students should get the opportunity to teach other classmates. Sometimes they can teach the lesson better than the teacher. The students can talk on their classmates level and get them to understand a concept. I think that teachers can learn a lot from the students.
