Classroom Interactions Matter

Lesson plans impact learning. A classroom’s physical environment makes a difference. But what about the ways teachers relate and interact with children? Educators have long sensed that classroom interactions were important, but only recently do we have the research to prove it. Now we know that children in warm, supportive classrooms show measurable cognitive and social gains—today and for the rest of their lives. It turns out interactions really do matter.
