As an educator, establishing and maintaining positive student-teacher relationships is an important part of the job. Building this rapport is known to support student growth, motivation, and student learning outcomes. But sometimes these well-meaning connections can be misinterpreted or misunderstood, and perception is critical. So what does an appropriate educator-student relationship look like, and how does the Educators’ Code of Ethics address the issue?
In this episode of The ATPE Podcast, ATPE Staff Attorney Sylvia Martinez-Haley breaks down legal concerns over student-teacher relationships and provides tips for maintaining healthy, professional boundaries.
