One at a time. It takes a deliberate effort to build mutually supportive relationships. The development of lasting, positive relationships involves the giving of oneself to others within a framework of reciprocal respect and loyalty and a deep appreciation of the Word of God. These ingredients coupled with a spirit of forgiveness, an attitude of honesty, and a life saturated with Christian love build strong relationships, relationships that withstand the test of time and trials.
Strong relationships establish valued ties.
It is strong ties that bind the individual parts of a school or classroom into a successful whole. Excellence and unity in a Christian school are the natural outgrowths of solid, Bible-based relationships. Take appreciation out of the employer-employee relationship formula, and staff morale declines. Take appreciation out of the classroom, and teacher and student relationships depreciate. Take appreciation out of the teacher-parent relationship and teacher and parent morale deteriorates.
