RESEARCHING TEACHING AND LEARNING 2IntroductionThe article by Capern and Hammond (2014) presents a discussion about creating relationships that are positive for teachers and students that are secondary gifted and those with emotional or behavioral disorders. The article outlines ways of giving these two groups of students what they need. Capern and Hammond (2014), assert that associations between studentsand their teachers are often very vital in establishing conducive learning environments. However, positive relationships between teachers and learners are more vital in gifted students in secondary schools and among those with emotional or behavioral disorders. The findings show that secondary gifted students valued teacher behaviors that promote friendly and cordial interactions between students and teachers that supported their learning and academic success. On the other hand, secondary students with emotional or behavioral disorders cherished their teacher who showed them considerable understanding, warmth, and patience. According to Hussain (2017) these qualities are the precursors of teachers’ support in their learning process. Similarly, comparisons are made in this article between the behaviors identified by students with EBD and gifted students. It is indicated that there are teacher behaviors that are essential for both groups. Nevertheless, each group of students specified a set of teacher behaviors that addressed their unique needs. By having positive relationships between students and teachers, the former are more likely to be motivated and encouraged in the process of learning (Luz, 2015). Additionally, as mentioned in the article, students understand that a positive relationship with their teachers has a positive impact on their motivation and interest which enhances the learning process.

RESEARCHING TEACHING AND LEARNING 3The findings in this article are important because they may be applied to enhance relationships between different groups of students and increase the effectiveness of the learning process. The findings could be useful in bridging the gap that exists between practice and educational theory. The established frameworks in this study for creating positive relationships with these two types of students could be used to enhance academic and social outcomes for students. They also help develop learning environments that are positive, and thus are crucial, and ought to be implemented in my key learning area which is mathematics (Gehlbach et al., 2015). It is important to give enough time to students to prepare for tests or complete assignments. This also implies letting students work at their own pace to complete tasks. In addition, it is considerably important for the teachers to be easily approachable and always accessible for them to provide necessary assistance for the students to catch up on assignments and prepare for exams. It is also advisable to interests of students in the subject area and encourages the students based on their interest. Typically, learners who are identified as at high risk of dropping out of school are disproportionately in low ability mathematics classes (Muller, 2014). These students usually have educational expectations that are lower, attain low grades, and view their teachers to be less caring. Their teachers also perceive them as not makingenough effort at school, and they do not perform well on mathematics tests. This is the reason why it is important to implement the issue in my key learning area (Muller, 2014).Critical Evaluation of the ArticleMany research findings have indicated that positive interactions between students and their teachers are pivotal in establishing healthy learning environments. Some of these studies have also examined how student-teacher relationships are formed. However, this article suggests that there is inadequate comparative research on how to develop positive relationships differently
