Abstract

The aim of the present qualitative interview study was to explore how teachers working at an alternative education setting serving students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) build relationships with their students. In-depth interviews with five instructors resulted in the development of seven interrelated themes concerning the key attitudes, process, context, and outcomes associated with developing quality relationships with students with EBD. The authors present and thoroughly describe each of these themes. They then discuss how the study adds to the limited knowledge about the student teacher relationship for students with EBD and how practitioners working with this population of students can use this knowledge. Finally, they address what next steps are needed to improve this influential aspect of the learning environment for these students.
