Quality Student Relationships

A key to effective classroom management is the development of a quality relationship between the students and the educator in the classroom. An important element of developing relationships is knowing and understanding the learner. As an educator it is important to initiate steps to learn and understand the unique qualities the student population. Teachers who adopt a relationship-building approach to classroom management by focusing on developing the whole person are more likely to help students develop positive, socially-appropriate behaviors.
