Building a strong bond with your students and demonstrating warmth doesn't eliminate authority.

It enhances it.

When you need to set boundaries, they trust you because they feel supported and valued.

To be an effective teacher requires two essential but sometimes contrasting qualities:

Warmth and authority.

As a teacher, your students are constantly reading your face for cues about your mood and expectations.

Your voice sets the tone for everything that happens in your classroom.
