This book brings together recent research on interpersonal relationships in education. Clearly, positive teacher-student relationships strongly contribute to student learning. Problematic relationships on the other hand can be detrimental to student outcomes and development. Productive learning environments are characterized by supportive and warm interactions throughout the class: teacher-student and student-student. Similarly, teacher learning thrives when principals facilitate accommodating and safe school cultures.

This report is expected to be useful to graduate students, professors, and researchers in the field of adult education and extension education. In addition, researchers and students in education and psychology who are interested in independent study, individualized instruction, and human learning may find that the framework and findings reported here are relevant to their own research. Finally, some administrators and instructors in schools, colleges, and adult education may be interested in considering the implications of the study for their own efforts to develop and assist people who want to continue learning throughout their adult years.
