Teaching-Learning Relationship

Teaching and learning relationship has the most important role in our lives. Without these
two bonds, we won't have a great education and that isn't really good. The only way to
interact with these two things is between teachers and students/pupils. We pupils, like
teachers, must have a great responsibility to make these two things(teaching and learning)
get together and have a healthy relationship. There are some things to make this happen:

.Relationship between teachers and students.

.Responsibility in our work.

.Love what we are doing(e.g. teachers must love their jobs and be happy with what they are
doing.)

.Teachers and students/pupils should be equal.

. Students/pupils and teachers should respect each other's decisions and thoughts.

. For teachers, all students/pupils should be the same.

. Students/pupils must respect all teachers' lessons whether or not they are interested in it.

I'll say that these are some kinds of rules that students/pupils and teachers must follow
because these rules will help us to make the teaching and learning process the best. This is
unfortunately less stressful for both sides.

• Influence of teachers on students/pupils.

We all may know the experiment that was made for the stereotype. A long time ago, one of
the American teachers did an experiment: in class, the teacher divided the pupils by their
eye colors. The teacher told the pupils with the blue eyes, that they were good and pupils
with the brown eyes were called bad. They had to wear special labels, which showed them
who was good or bad. The experiment went well. The pupils who were called 'good' were
behaving in the right way and pupils who were called 'bad' acting in a bad way.

I think it's a great example that teachers must do their best to encourage every
student/pupil and not make them look different from the others. They all must be the same
as teachers. Of course, students/pupils are different from each other. They have different
possibilities and may some students/pupils need some more help than others. This doesn't
mean that they aren't trying hard.

As a pupil when some of the teachers are saying that one of the pupils is better than me or
the others, I don't have a wish to learn their subject again, because no matter how hard I try
someone is still better than me.

I think education isn't a competition and teachers have to get it. It isn't a battle to have
only one side. Teachers have to support everyone because they have the biggest roles in our
education and trust in ourselves.
Teaching-Learning Relationship notes
1.The main goal of education is the influence of learning.
2.Learning activities take place where teaching takes place.
3.Teaching enables the students to learn.
4.Teaching Learning is a single concept at the thought of modern scholars.
6.Teaching is incomplete until the learning ideas/concept are tied.

What is teaching?
Teaching came from the Old English word “tǣ can” which means “to show” or “point
out”. Perceptibly, when you hear the word “teach”, you often think of classrooms, lessons,
and of course, teachers who point out various information.

Hence, it is the act of communicating ideas, emotions, and/or skills to learners or students.
Teachers focus on students or pupils’ experiences and facilitate situations to ensure
learning.

Commonly, there are two forms of teaching:

 Formal
Classroom-based instruction which is facilitated by licensed professionals falls under
formal teaching. It is governed by educational systems that have to follow certain
curricula, class hours, and related standards.

 Informal
Teaching that occurs outside the regulations of the classroom and does not require
licensing is categorized as informal. Examples of these are home-based or outside-school
tutorials.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHING & LEARNING

1. Both teaching & learning may be formal or informal.

2. Both are goal oriented.

3. Good teaching results in good learning.

4. One can observe teaching but not learning.

5. Both teaching and learning require skills, creativity, intelligence and operate on definite
principles.
 6. Good teaching requires good communication skill & good learning requires good
listening skills.

7. Only good learners become good teachers.

6 Strategies to Build Positive Student-Teacher Relationships

1. Believe that all students can succeed.
Your beliefs about your students will subconsciously affect how you treat each child in your
classroom. For this reason, you must believe that every child is capable of succeeding. In
addition, you must expect them to do so.

2. Get to know your students.

Take the time to know your students as individuals. Learn about their families,
backgrounds, interests, likes and dislikes.

3. Say hello and goodbye to every student, every day.

Connecting with students in the middle of a lesson isn’t easy. It’s important to take
advantage of time before and after class to build bonds. Stand at the door as your students
enter and as they leave, saying hello and goodbye to each child.

4. Laugh with your students.

Humor is an excellent way to build bonds with children. It also makes learning more
engaging and encourages children to pay attention.

Make jokes, share funny stories, and don’t take yourself too seriously. Although humor
shouldn’t be a priority in the classroom, you should work it in whenever possible. Through
shared laughter, you’ll easily foster positive relationships with your students.

5. Provide students with choice.

You may allow students to choose a book, design their own experiment, play a role in
creating class rules and expectations, etc. The more you provide students with choice and
autonomy, the more they’ll see that you value them as individuals.

6. Accept students–and their mistakes in the classroom.

Accept all students, despite their quirks and differences. Treat all students with the same
respect and kindness, and don’t allow students to tease or disrespect one another in your
classroom. Create an environment where all children can feel welcome and comfortable.

 The fish in a tree

The book "Fish in a Tree" is about a girl named Ally Nickerson who has dyslexia and faces
the struggles of not being able to read and everyday struggles any student can relate to.
Ally experiences the school hardships of being alone, bullying, and not wanting to work.
Despite these struggles she manages to get through the year while succeeding with her
new friends. Throughout the story Ally learns valuable traits that the reader can relate to
and apply to their own life. The novel "Fish in a Tree" not only inspires the reader, but
teaches that things do get better. I personally liked the book because it was inspiring and
had a great plot.

I picked this book for multiple reasons and was not at all disappointed. My first reason for
picking the book was because it is a new battle book. My second reason for picking "Fish in
a Tree" was the fact the reviews states fans of R.J. Palacio's "Wonder" would enjoy it and
"Wonder" is one of my favorite books. I enjoyed the amazing character development the
most. I actually enjoyed all parts of "Fish in a Tree" and can honestly can not find a part I
did not enjoy. This book did surprise me. I expected it to end in a sad, depressing way but
it was in fact the exact opposite. I related the most to the main character Ally and her
friends Keisha and Albert. This is by far one of the best books I have read this year. I would
100% recommend reading "Fish in a Tree".

Fish in the Tree is about sixth-grader, Ally Nickerson, who misbehaves in school to hide
the fact that she struggles with reading and writing. Since her dad is in the military, she
has moved from school to school; this has helped her keep her secret. Having moved so
often, she has not had to opportunity to forge strong friendships as well – until she meets
Kesiha and Albert.
 It is also very much a school story with eight different student personalities interacting
with (sometimes crashing into) each other and their teacher Mr. Daniels. Mr.Daniels was
the one who helped Ally and made her trust herself.

Lynda Mullaly Hunt is the author of New York Times bestseller Fish in a Tree, as well
as One for the Murphys, which is on thirty-one state award lists. She's a former teacher,
and holds writers retreats for the Society of Children's Book Writers and illustrators.

Lynda Mullaly tells us what inspired her to write this story.

'Well, my own life inspired the story. Although I’ve never been tested for dyslexia, I have
been suspicious that I have at least a touch of it. I was in the lowest reading group in grades
one through six. Mr. Daniels is based on my sixth grade teacher Mr. Christy. I realized
about halfway through writing it that Fish in a Tree is a love letter to him and all teachers
like him.

I have no doubt that Mr. Christy saved me. I came into sixth grade wondering what
would become of me and left sixth grade with a laser focus on becoming a teacher and
helping kids like he helped me. He set a high expectations. Even as a child I knew this was
a high compliment and I tried very hard to reach every bar he set for me. He completely
changed my perception of myself in on year – a powerful transformation. The man was
amazing."

What is the author's message in fish in a tree?

"Everyone is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree,
it will spend its whole life thinking that it's stupid."

 The story of a Jewish teacher and a student

This is a story about a Jewish student and a teacher. After school, they met each other for
the first time after twenty years at a wedding. The teacher asked the student what his
profession was. The student told him that he had become a teacher. The teacher wondered
what his reason was.

The student remembered a story. He said that his parents bought a classmate a very cool
wristwatch and he liked it. He stole it and put it on. Then the classmate told the teacher
that the watch was stolen and because of that the teacher told the boys to stand by the
wall. He searched everyone's pockets but they had to close their eyes.

The teacher started checking their pockets. First, he checked one, then the other, and
then he came to him and found the watch. But he continued to check the other's pockets
as if he had not seen the watch.
 Finally, he gave the watch to his owner. The student was nervous that the teacher would
say something and would be ashamed when everyone found out that he had stolen the
watch. But the teacher said nothing at all. It was the teacher who inspired this student to
become a teacher. After telling the story, the teacher told him that he had closed his eyes
too and did not know who had stolen them.

Summarizing everything, a teacher is a person who has a great influence on a

student. She is the reason for our every success or failure. We students expect our trust
from them and want them to be our leader.
