How to build strong teacher-student relationships
While speaking to Briefly News, lay counsellor and emotional support expert Astrid Diaries discussed the importance of teachers having good relationships with their pupils and how educators can cultivate healthy relationships with their students.
"As both a counsellor and teacher, I believe that cultivating a solid working relationship in the classroom is one of the most effective ways to foster a supportive and motivating environment. Astrid said that when learners feel valued, they gain the confidence to engage and excel, while teachers feel empowered to improve the classroom experience continuously."
The lay counsellor and emotional support expert shared how she had encountered situations where specific learners were "disengaged." Despite every effort, "maintaining empathy and compassion became challenging, and in those moments, I remind myself that everyone is navigating challenges we may not see," she added.
Astrid shared the following tips on how to cultivate healthy relationships with their students:
"Creating a positive rapport profoundly impacts learners’ progress and self-assurance. When they feel supported, they’re more motivated to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them. In my experience, learners seeking counselling find a safe space to express themselves, knowing they have room to grow and develop fully."
