The teacher’s social and emotional competencies are linked to healthy student-teacher relationships which, in turn, create better student social, emotional and academic outcomes, including lower levels of ESL. Such competencies of the teacher can be acquired in pre-service or in-service teacher education.

How teacher-teacher and teacher-student cooperation link with achievement – evidence from international studies
Evidence from international large-scale assessment studies shows that more complex professional collaboration between teachers and teacher-student relations is associated with an improvement in student achievement, even when considering differences in students’ backgrounds. It may also be important that teachers who collaborate more with their colleagues generally report more positive teacher-student relations.

Team members’ and teachers’ understanding of their own unpleasant emotions in the process of teamwork or teaching
The Circular Emotional Reaction (CER) model helps teachers and other professionals working in schools understand their own unpleasant emotions they experience during teaching and teamwork. The knowledge about emotions helps them regulate their emotional reactions and establish better relationships with other professionals or students so as to prevent ESL.
