Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenon of caring in the teacher-student relationship from the viewpoint of the teacher. This was accomplished in the following manner: a) constructing a conceptual framework of caring derived from the selected writings of major authors in this area; b) conducting a thematic analysis of in-depth interviews of teachers asked to reflect upon their conceptions of the caring teacher-student relationship; c) interpreting the emergent themes theoretically and personally; d) synthesizing the conceptual frameworks of the theoreticians and the practitioners into a comprehensive model of teacher caring.
