I firmly believe that the most successful learning experiences come from strong, open relationships between teachers and students.  Teachers, especially those working with early childhood or elementary-aged students, serve not only as an educator but also as an advocate, a friend, a confidant, and a reality check when students need it.  A good educator can balance all of these roles to provide a safe environment; a phenomenal educator balances each of these roles in the proportion needed by each individual student to create the space each individual student needs to learn most effectively.  To demonstrate my focus on teacher-student relationships and to showcase my ability to actively build a classroom culture that supports learns with diverse backgrounds and abilities as well as my skills in encouraging educational equity and social justice, I created a case study of one of my students that I felt fit into one or more traditionally at-risk categories.  I observed this student, then used current research and theory to elucidate his situation and his potential future.  Included in the case study are strategies we implemented with the student and other potential interventions to prevent this student from becoming an “at-risk” learner.
