Relationships Matter

For my 2 classes this semester I have been researching the importance of building relationships with students.  I was shocked about how many studies have been done comparing the academic achievement and behavioral differences of students in classes with teachers who may or may not make an effort to build a relationship between the teacher and student.  All of the research comes to the same conclusion.  Teachers who take the time to know their students will see higher levels of academic achievement and will not have as many behavioral concerns as teachers who do not.  I am the PBIS leader in my school and I have been sharing this information with those teachers in my school that seem to struggle building relationships.  Some of the teachers had no idea how important this is.  I am beginning to see some drastic improvements by a few teachers.  Now I am in the process of developing a PD over this topic.  Any ideas?
