checking in with students who were absent during the most recent class session builds rapport and creates trust. "Hello, is everything alright? I noticed you were absent yesterday. Please see me 1:1 when you have a few moments, and I'll catch you up on what you missed." If we don't have this conversation our student can believe we don't care about their success. Having the conversation demonstrates care and initiates a coaching session so our student has a better understanding of what needs to be accomplished to be successful.
