Healthy schools are committed to provide a learning environment for a healthy development and optimal learning support for all students, regardless of their performance, language, learning and behaviour disposition or disability. In order to achieve this goal, the relationship between teacher and students is crucial.

Improving students' relationships with teachers has important, positive and long-lasting implications for both students' academic and social development. Solely improving students' relationships with their teachers will not produce gains in achievement.

Picture a student who feels a strong personal connection to her teacher, talks with her teacher frequently, and receives more constructive guidance and praise rather than just criticism from her teacher. The student is likely to trust her teacher more, show more engagement in learning, behave better in class and achieve at higher levels academically. Positive teacher-student relationships draw students into the process of learning and promote their desire to learn.

Personal connection of teachers with students can also raise their intrinsic motivation to learn when students feel interested in their work for the sake of mastering it, they develop a love of learning that will benefit them for their entire lives. Plus, they’re also more likely to have positive attitudes towards their teachers, classes, and lessons exams and also competitive exams. A teacher can motivate a student to take any academic competition with ease and discover their hidden talents. When students focus less on grades and more on mastery, they’re on their way toward a successful school career a good teacher can bring out the best in a student, remove the fear of exams within a student and encourage him to face the toughest of competition with challenging attitude.

Effective communication between teachers and students can also strengthen the school atmosphere. Because these relationships are so closely tied to self-motivation, they can lead to an engaged classroom. A classroom can transform into an ideal learning environment where students are not only prepared but excited to learn. Plus, when students engage themselves in the lesson, they’re less likely to need discipline during class. The school syllabus is completed within time and students are confidently ready for class assessments also. The academic atmosphere of a school definitely depends on the teacher student relationship. This relationship is sure to yield better academic results in class 10 and class 12  and the school feels proud of such students.

A teacher’s impact on their students can last long after the end of the school year. After students have a good relationship with their   teacher, they’re more likely to form similar relationships in the future. As these relationships can give students the guidance and support they need to succeed in future, it is essential to nurture them in school. This is especially helpful for school children, as strong teacher-student relationships can help ease the transition into responsible youths in future. A responsible teacher is always there for his students, whenever the students need his help and guidance even after the students get to higher classes or even in workplace.

Think about your favourite teacher from elementary school. What made them so special? Maybe they were the first person who helped math “make sense” to you, or maybe they let you borrow books from their classroom library. The wisdom and mentorship that teachers provide can be life changing, especially for younger students. A student may also seek advice from his teacher for his higher studies or career choice, if he has a very good relationship with his teacher.

The more self-motivated a student is as they learn to read, the better prepared they’ll be to reach their potential. One of the best ways to encourage this is by building meaningful teacher-student relationships.

One of the simplest and most effective student engagement strategies for teachers is getting to know the students on a personal level. Once you recognize how teacher-student relationships can revolutionize your classroom, you can prepare your entire school for lasting success. The most beautiful relation that a child has i school is his relationship with teachers as a child spends a lot of his childhood in school. If this time is wisely used, it is sure to bring great results in future of the student.
