Mutual respect between teacher and student is the foundation for an effective classroom.  One of the interesting aspects of a positive teacher-student relationship is built on behavior and words rather than thoughts and feelings (Marzano & Pickering, 2010). Which means it is not how the teachers feels or thinks about the the student but how she treats and speaks to the student that builds a positive relationship.

Student interest inventories can be a survey that is given at the beginning of each year, term, or unit. Students can fill out a survey online using SurveyMonkey to answer personal and academic interests. Teacher can use sentence stems to help guide student answers.

Students can create reflective journals that track their progress towards learning goals. Multiple uses of technology for reflective journals include: word processing software like Google Drive, audio recordings using Audacity, or video recording using iMovie.
