All Alberta teachers are expected to meet the Teaching Quality Standard (TQS) throughout their careers. Fostering Effective Relationships, the first competency identified within the TQS, is a priority for student teachers entering the profession and throughout their careers.
A teacher builds positive and productive relationships with students, parents/guardians, peers and others in the school and local community to support student learning.
Fostering effective relationships with parents and guardians is key to the success of every Alberta student, as noted in the first TQS competency.
This section features books and articles that examine different aspects of fostering effective relationships.
