Alesia believes the most productive relationship between teachers and students is one where there is respect, communication, comfort, and a shared sense of mutual understanding of established goals for students as well as for teachers. Dr. Slocumb-Bradford believes that if ever there was a perfect pair, it’s certainly, students’ classroom success and a teacher’s efforts in the classroom. Teaching and learning should go hand and hand. When a teacher is teaching effectively, then students will learn. When students understand and master the standards, results immediately inform the teacher that the methods, techniques, and lesson plan was a success.
