Abstract
This capstone project explores how a well-structured and supportive school environment can impact students socially, emotionally and academically. I want to shed light on the importance of inclusion, connection, and community within a school, and the positive ripple effects it has on students as individuals. The literature review provides more information about student relationships, benefits of positive relationships, students' sense of belonging, and positive reinforcement systems. Chapter three provides a description of the project and how I plan to share and implement my project with my colleagues. The focus of my project is to provide teachers with ways to develop and maintain positive relationships. The project concludes in chapter 4 with an overall review of my learning and future questions about the possible impacts of positive relationships in schools. One of my major findings was that it was very apparent that students needed a trusted, supportive place to check in and collaborate with encouraging adults in a school setting. When this type of environment occurs, students can thrive academically, socially and emotionally. This project provides school staff with strategies and ideas to foster positive relationships in classrooms. The project was created in the form of a slideshow presentation with each slide providing materials or activities for teachers to use.
