Responsibilities and Relationships “Research shows that students who feel safe, accepted, and connected to their school are more likely to stay in school, develop social skills, and do well academically. Students, teachers, and other adults benefit from caring relationships, opportunities for participation, and an atmosphere of high expectations. Strong relationships are prerequisites of growth and learning, and the relationship between students and teachers must be supported by strong relationships among adults. Significantly, the world of the African Nova Scotian student is often radically different from the world of the teacher. Economic, social, racial, and other differences are part of the fabric of most schools in the province. It is crucial that students know that the adults in each of those worlds have a shared mission” African Nova Scotian Students Support Worker Guidelines, Standards and Evaluation, Nova Scotia Department of Education, 2011.
