John Hattie's Meta-Analysis of the Effect of Teacher-Student Relationships
Teacher-Student Relationships
The relationships a teacher creates between the teacher and the students and between students and their peers have a tremendous impact on learning. Teacher knowledge of students is a leading indicator of student success.
John Hattie gave effect sizes for nine different teacher-student variables (Hattie, 2009, p. 119)
Hattie's meta-analysis indicated that teachers who built relationships with students and were focused on the students and not only the content created classrooms where students were engaged and learning.
After reviewing the meta-analysis and graph created by Hattie, watch the video, "Effective Student-Teacher Relationships".
