Continued negative and interfering behavior by a student can create confusion and lack of confidence for an educator, no matter how many years of accrued classroom experience. Encouraging news is that research supports the fact that the relationship a teacher builds with a student has a powerful and positive impact. “It is teachers who have created positive teacher-student relationships that are more likely to have the above-average effects on student achievement.” John Hattie (2009).
