Strategies for improving student outcomes with teacher-student relationships

Improving relationships with students who teachers identify as challenging to understand can go a long way in refueling a teacher’s energy and preventing burnout. According to a recent study, offering a promising method of professional development for educators improved teacher-student relationships and even improved students’ grades in school. 

Watch an informative look at the research on strengthening teacher-student relationships, and hear how districts are putting into practice these strategies to support positive student outcomes. 

In this session you’ll learn:

• How the research supports a focus on teacher-student relationships for improved student outcomes 
• Professional development strategies to take action and improve teacher-student relationships 
• How districts are focusing on relationship-building as part of broader social-emotional learning practices 
• What data and tools can be used to inform district-wide planning and educator PD
