The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to explore Hispanic/Latinx students’ perspectives about cultural, personal, and professional characteristics and behaviors of teachers who they build connections to, and b) to look at the factors and practices that teachers rely on that facilitate and hinder the process of building school connectedness in Hispanic/Latinx students. Participants included seven Hispanic/Latinx students and five teachers who students identified as feeling “the most connected to” and who are working with them in a middle school in the Northeastern part of Massachusetts. Data were collected from individual interviews with Hispanic/Latinx students and their teachers, descriptive field notes, and researcher journal. The data were analyzed by following steps of Groenewald's (2004) analysis that previously were described by Hycner (1999) as explicitation process. Empirically, there are few studies that explore perspectives about school connectedness from the perspective of both Hispanic/Latinx students and their teachers. The intent of this qualitative study is to close this gap in the literature. This study, therefore, provides a rich picture of how Hispanic/Latinx students connect to teachers and how these teachers structure their work or use their personal and professional resources to build and promote the feeling of connectedness among their students.
