Teacher & Student Relations @classrelations

My AP research project is done! I can definitely say I’ve learned a lot throughout this entire process.

I’ve started gathering data from mini interviews with teachers and students from the lack of numbers I got from the survey.

This graph displays the grade level that each teacher respondent majorly teaches. I hope to use this to identify trends with stereotypes. Like would a 9th grade teacher be less likely to bond with their students compared to an 12th grade teacher.

A teacher that took my survey claimed, “I have students that check in with me everyday even if I don’t teach them.” .. in response to the question asking how a relationship has been built with their student(s).

An interesting response a student said on my survey: “They don't sugarcoat anything, which is very much appreciated when you're a teenager and everyone is telling you what they think you want to hear.” Question: Why do you feel like you’ve built a relationship with your teacher?

A student’s response on my survey says, “They have created an open space for me to express myself and for there to be some kind if fun in the classroom…” Question: “If you have built a relationship with a teacher this year, what has that teacher done to make you feel that way?

A teacher’s response on my survery says, “Some students have a hard exterior you have to break through to build the relationship. It takes time…” *** The question was “If you have NOT built a relationship with a student this year, why is that?”

One student on my survey said there are teachers that come off as “passive aggressive” and didn’t make them feel comfortable talking. (In reference to the question asking why they haven’t built a relationship with a teacher this year)

With my survey being out for one complete school day, there’s a majority of students that HAVE built a relationship with a teacher this school year.

Did you know … “When teachers make an intentional effort to get to know each of their students, it can foster in students a sense of belonging and connection to school—which can then build a foundation for academic success.” educationnorthwest.org/insights/posit…

“The influence of teachers extends beyond the classroom, well into the future. It is they who shape and enrich the minds of the young, who touch their hearts and souls. It is they who shape a nation’s future.” - F. Sionil Jose

Have you ever gotten close to one of your teachers?

I’m hoping that the results of this research will not only expose some kind of trend within these classrooms, but also what the culture of this school consists of (whether that’s good or bad).

“It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.” -Michael Morpurgo

A generational gap is the differences and attitudes between one generation and another. It is one of the reasons why older generations and younger ones don’t see eye to eye, and also why some teachers and their students don’t get along.

“Both students and teachers get affected by the classroom environment.” A fact that tends to get left out of these kinds of topics. #classrelations digitalclassworld.com/blog/important…

Teachers, students love coming to school for different reasons. Make sure you’re one of the reasons. Be compassionate, kind, caring, & understanding. Someone they know has their back and also wants the best for them.
