Embracing Relational Teaching: How strong relationships promote student self-regulation and efficacy

When you shift to relational pedagogy, you establish connections that help students feel valued, respected and heard, which leads to enhanced student engagement. Author Anthony R. Reibel explores this approach, offering strategies and activities to make everyday interactions, such as instruction, assessment, reflection and grading, more meaningful through student-teacher relationships. The result is higher levels of social-emotional and academic learning.

• Understand the meaning of relational pedagogy
• Gain the ability to organise curriculum to focus on student-centered learning
• Utilise reflection tools to better build relational assessments
