Transactional Analysis is an incredibly useful map for teachers. Even just by having a working knowledge of the different ego states- parent, adult, child and the kind of language and behaviours associated with them will help improve your relationships and make them more functional, creating a win /win situation. For example reflecting on whether your have been too much of a Critical Parent with your students instead of a Structuring Parent . There are more complex ideas such as games, drivers and injunctions as well as the concept of personality adaptations, but these are easily understood with a little study and reflection.
I found this Excellent series on the basics of Transactional Analysis on Youtube.
