Teachers Care About Me.
According to the Search Institute, only 33% of middle school students agreed with the statement, “Teachers care about me.” In high school, that number dropped to a shocking 16%. This highlights a major gap in student-teacher relationships.
As an education consultant, I believe strong student-teacher connections are the foundation of student success, engagement, and academic achievement. The good news? Even small, consistent actions can help students feel valued and supported.
Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” – John C. Maxwell
