  1. What a wonderful topic for action research! The longer I stay in the classroom (this is my 12th year), the more I realize the importance of building relationships with students. Just this year alone, I have three students who struggle either academically or behaviorally (or both). When the year started, I wondered if it would be possible to get through the year with these challenging students. However, as I got to know them and we built relationships based on mutual respect, I found that they are much more eager to work hard and behave appropriately in my classroom. They know I care. They know I'll listen. They know I expect what is best from them and give them my best as well. Something that has solidified my belief in the power of relationships is that these same three students continue to struggle in another class because that teacher has not taken the time or given adequate effort to build a relationship with them. They are always in trouble in that class and often have failing grades. I've tried to help the other teacher find ways (and the desire) to build a relationship with them, but I have not been successful. It is disheartening to know that these students have a period in their school day in which they probably feel very uncomfortable, unappreciated and unwelcome. Kudos to you for choosing this topic. I am looking very forward to following your work.
