Teacher & Students Professional Relation  

Describe the principles of developing professional relationship among college teachers.  

 The university's educational mission is promoted by professionalism in faculty student relationships. Professionalism is fostered by an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. Trust and respect are diminished when those in positions of authority abuse or appear to abuse their power. Thus much depends on the head of the institution for the maintenance of appropriate professional relationships.

 All teachers must of course make an effort to understand their students better-their needs, interests, capabilities, capacities, capacities, aspirations, problems, difficulties etc. This forms a part of both their professional and personal relationships. Let us now take a look at desirable teacher qualities which mark healthy relationships.

 At a personal level, there should be close working relationships among faculty, staff, and students. However, it is the responsibility of the teacher to keep relationships with students focused on pedagogical goals and academic requirements. Otherwise, it is likely to impair teacher objectivity and/or detract from student development. This is the reason why accepting a teaching (or grading) role with respect to a member of one's immediate family, a close friend, or an individual who is also a client, patient, or business partner, excessive socializing with students outside of class, either individually or as a group, lending money to or borrowing money from students; giving gifts to or accepting gifts from students, is a taboo. Besides, even if the teacher believes that she or he is maintaining objectivity in situations such as these, the perception of favoritism on the part of other students is as educationally disastrous as actual favouritism or unfairness.
