Abstract
This project focuses on the vital role the teacher-student relationship has on student success. The quality and quantity of interaction between a teacher and his or her students seems to have a significant impact on student learning, and the effects of these interactions appear to remain constant as students make their way from elementary school to high school. Taking a writer’s workshop unit previously taught to grade eight students, the author applies some of the findings on the importance of the teacher-student relationship to another group of students from the same high school to increase the quality of relationship with all students. Comparing the experiences of the second writer’s workshop to the original writers workshop, the author can ascertain the significance of the teacher-student relationship on student learning.
