TORA (Teacher's Optial relationship approach)
The Teacher's Optimal Relationship Approach (TORA) is developed by Dr. Kate Renshaw, a school-based early intervention mental health and wellbeing strategy. TORA highlights the essential influence teachers have on children’s lives, offering tools to help them weave therapeutic elements and playfulness into everyday school interactions.
One of the biggest challenges in education today is fostering an environment where all students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn, especially when behavioral issues and emotional needs are on the rise.
By adopting TORA, schools can cultivate classrooms where students feel valued and engaged, leading to improved behavior, stronger academic performance, and a more connected school community overall.
