Building Capacity for Positive Youth Development in Secondary School Classrooms: Changing Teachers’ Interactions With Students

Abstract

Abstract This chapter describes how teachers' social and instructional interactions with students affect their learning and social development, and how a professional development intervention can improve the quality of these interactions. Three particularly important classroom processes are described: supportive relationships between teachers and students; supports for autonomy; and relevance to youth's everyday lives. A teacher professional-development (My Teaching Partner) that targets these classroom processes for improvement is described, as well as a well-validated measure of them (the Classroom Assessment Scoring System, or CLASS).
