Hi Ron:
Fit in - right. I have sometimes used the term "relate" or "connect" when describing the way we interact with our students.

Whatever the term, without a connection to them, there will less likelihood of students reciprocating in showing interest, paying attention, completing assignments, and ultimately benefiting fully from the class.

We all have a personality that, perhaps can be modified a little bit to fit different situations. But I also think that by being consistent in certain ways, we can relate to almost any group of students. These traits include being approachable and friendly, supportive while showing respect and courtesy, and willing to offer suggestions and assistance with or with being requested - these demonstrate care - care for the student's successfulness and that will always be a delivery style that's appreciated.

Regards, Barry
