BERRY STREET 

What Are the 5 Domains?

Domain Two: Relationship

In the RELATIONSHIP domain, the Berry Street Education Model highlights the vital role of building strong connections between teachers and students. Research tells us that when teachers show empathy, kindness, authenticity, and encourage critical thinking, students thrive (Cornelius-White, 2007). By focusing on building relationships and earning trust, children learn that school is a safe place where they can feel secure and valued.
