This article discusses a training program that aims to raise teachers' awareness of how they treat their students. The Teacher Expectations & Student Achievement, or TESA, program--which delves into whether teachers deal with their lower-achieving and higher-achieving students equitably--has been used nationally for more than 30 years. But its popularity appears to be increasing as educators seek ways to build teacher-student connections that can engage children in learning. The TESA framework directs teachers to examine their actions in three areas: how they solicit and manage students' responses to questions, how they give feedback, and how they demonstrate personal regard for students. This article presents experiences from teachers regarding the benefits they got from the TESA program.
