Students’ brains are hard at work every moment of the day, learning skills and connecting new information with old. Those same brains are also constantly processing information when it comes to their relationship with their teacher. Positive student relationships are fundamental to success.

Plus, when students have positive interactions with teachers, they have fewer behavioral problems. These relationships are more important — and more challenging — than ever in uncertain times, like during the coronavirus pandemic. Neuroscience can help us understand what’s happening in students’ brains when they feel safe and understood why positive teacher-student relationships are important — and how we can build those relationships.

Students who have access to more strong relationships are more academically engaged, have stronger social skills, and experience more positive behavior.
