2013, end of my Sophomore year, was the year I became best friends with a guy who is now a stranger. The first time Zach and I met was when he moved to Queen City in the 8th grade. April of our 8th grade year we voted on class favorites and we both were awarded the most courteous award, which was awkward because I barely knew the guy. It was not until the end of my Sophomore year that I actually talked to him and by Junior year we were dating. The reciprocal part of the attraction theory, the clinging to first impression part of attribution error, and the Knapp’s Relational Development, though not in order, terminating coming before stagnation and avoidance, describe our relationship well.…
Moreover, as Jupp (2013) describes in his concluding chapter, a narrative of “relationality...presents teachers’ needs for direct relationships with students, families, communities, and social agencies” (p. 105). In my understanding, through deeply ingrained relationships one can take away powerful information on the life and needs of the learner which can be instrumental in providing a clearer picture of the incidental. Moreover, a snapshot of the individual students’ life and how it can be critically evaluated towards the overall structures without placing undue blame on the student or their family and likewise draw incorrect conclusions. This also provides a good point of transition for exploring the methods of combating such deficit…
The relational leadership model that was taught to me in HDF 415 is one of my favorite models, because it involves knowing the individuals you are leading, and using that knowledge to empower them, and help them grow as a leader. I see this theory come out a lot on the North Woods Challenge course. When facilitating a retreat for the challenge course the leader must be inclusive of everyone, there will be people who’s’ biggest challenge is getting out of the car and into the mud, and there are others who will be trying to swing from tree to tree. The differences don’t stop there, but as always the leader must be respectful and inclusive towards all of those participating. The entire challenge course is process-oriented and is done to help the…

Students in a classroom are as diverse and unique as the individual stars in the galaxy. With such various student abilities, how fast or well a student learn depends on the student’s ability, instructional techniques utilized, and the relationship between the pupil and teacher. The relationships a teacher develops with their students greatly impacts the amount of knowledge they impart on students. Teachers with a good sense of communication skills and respects all stakeholders within a classroom establish a positive relationship in the classroom (The Positive Teacher – Student Relationship,…

As we all know: Relationships are hard. They are delicate, and require ample amounts of effort from both parties. As sad as it may seem, nothing lasts forever, and sometimes we grow apart from the ones we love the most. It’s quite strange that we can go from knowing someone so well, and spending so much time together. To very rarely seeing them, and becoming such a miniscule part of their lives.…
For all of my life, building close relationships has been the key to my success. I form relationships successfully in a small, comfortable setting. In school, classrooms are an accessible way for myself to accomplish this with my teacher. For every teacher I was close to, the class I had with them was my top class. One of the main reasons I chose Clarkson College was because I admired it was a private college with a limited student to teacher ratio.…
After reading the chapter I could definitely see how essential the concept is to understanding relationships. One factor that stayed with me is how we as adults can approve our level of differentiation of self. In my opinion this point is extremely important because many may think they are stuck at their level of differentiation, in all reality, with hard work, they can improve their levels of differentiation. Reflecting on my own level of differentiation, I would say that my level lies right in the middle. Throughout the years I’ve noticed I have been better able to separate my thoughts from my feelings.…
Getting a College Degree, Seriously! From pre-school snack time to elementary school recess, middle school basketball games to the high school video games, children grow in the mold of a specific educational system. According to the majority of U.S. students, the next stage in this traditional system is to pursue a college degree. For many students, having a college education is not a necessary way to acquire a good job anymore because of the cost of college and the rate of job losses on the rise.…
In this paper I will argue that social Learning theory and the Feminist theory best explains why violence occurs. The Social Learning theory is a well known theory for explaining why Violence occurs. The Social Leaning theory argues that people learn how to behave by being exposed or experienced violence (Jasinski, YEAR) I strongly agree with this theory as it refers to explaining why violence occurs in adulthood for various reasons such as intergenerational, media, and culture. Intergenerational transmission of violence suggests that violence is learned through the socialization in the family (Jasinski, YEAR).…

For this assignment, I chose to focus on my current relationship with my boyfriend Michael. We have been dating for four years and met here at Purdue University. Throughout these years of our dating, we have climbed all of the stairs of Knapp’s Relational Development Model.…
By building relationships, the environment changes; it becomes a caring environment in which the students feel comfortable because they feel as though their teachers care for them. By building relationships with their students, teachers are more aware of what their students need and can then curtail their curriculum to the student’s likes and needs which is a high motivation factor (Strong, Silver & Robinsons, 1995). Relationships in the classroom are very important in a child’s learning process. Environments that have positive relationships, which then motivate the students to push forward academically, are what are needed. Uncomfortable settings do not provide an adequate learning environment in which students are able to express themselves.…
