Stories from the Field: Building strong teacher-student relationships in the classroom
Akira S. Gutierrez & Katie H. Buckley; Transforming Education
This is the first in a series of briefs or “stories from the field” that are intended to share student and educator perspectives about developing and sustaining strong relationships within the classroom and throughout the school.
This brief focuses on ways teachers can develop and sustain strong relationships with their students, based on the theoretical underpinnings of the importance of this component, the perspectives of educators and students in the schools visited by Transforming Education, and evidence-based best practices.
