Trust is a powerful and essential educational tool and is both emotional and physical. It is the foundation on which relationships are built.  Students have opportunities to practice both kinds. Students participate in trust leans and trust falls.  Students may be more willing to take risks and try something new if they feel its okay to make a mistake.
