Human Being First. Human Doing Second.
It cannot be underestimated: positive teacher-student relationships significantly contribute to the sustained success and engagement of students- both behaviorally and academically. Students who experience respect and unconditional acceptance from their teacher are more likely to be compliant, respectful, and open to learning, while students who experience negativity or feel targeted are more likely to exhibit the same, act out, and sabotage their learning.
