Learn students' names at the beginning of the year to build interpersonal relationships.

  • Use students’ names in class, rather than labels like "the girl with the red hair."
  • This makes it easier to interact will all students, rather than only the ones whose names you know.

Don't worry about trying to match the modality of your instruction to students' "learning styles" since the importance of learning styles is a myth.
Follow up the question “How are you?” with asking your students deeper questions, like “How’s your stress level?”, to show you care and to dig below the surface-level small talk when you bump into your students.
Motivate students who get discouraged with difficult research tasks by letting them know you believe they can do it and that some tasks are meant to push their boundaries so they can grow.
