Building relationships with students and their families will be a key aspect in the role of a Distance Learning Specialist. Students must like you, respect you and feel like they belong to feel fully invested in their virtual education. Rapport is an important aspect of influencing others. Explain how you build rapport with students and end your response with how this benefits both students and their families. You may want to consider building classroom culture, trust, or a sense of belonging amongst students.

"Absolutely, rapport is essential. Students respond positively when they feel like the teacher cares and has a genuine connection with them. The same is true for a Distance Learning Specialist too. I build rapport by getting to know the people in their lives during one-on-one talks. As well, I also build rapport and trust by following through on my word and by listening and responding to student and colleague alike. My word is only as good as the actions that reinforce them, and so I make a point of following through on my commitments to the best of my ability."
