Today's episode of 'Beyond Survival: The New Teacher podcast' is the monthly episode with Colin McGill. Colin is my colleague in the PGDE at Edinburgh Napier University, and is the programme leader. You can follow him on Twitter @colinmcgill. 

This episode explore how new teachers can build positive relationships.  Colin answers the following questions:

1. What are some of the common mistakes new teachers make with forming relationships? 

2. How can a teacher's lesson content help in building positive relationships in a class? 

3. How can a teacher's communication help in building positive relationships? 

4. How can a teacher go about building a positive relationship with a more challenging student?  

I hope you really enjoy the episode.  Please do pass it on to other teachers if you did find it useful.
