Week #6

*Effective teachers spend a great deal of time working and interacting directly with students.

This statement is true for me because having that ability to interact with students and be there for them whenever needed will create security and motivation for the students, which will help them to continue to succeed. Teachers constantly sitting at their desks and not readily available for students will hinder assessments and question asking.


*Effective teachers know and understand their students in terms of abilities, achievement, learning, preferences, and needs.

It is through assessments that teachers will better understand students which will help them become more effective learners. It is the student's right to learn on their personal abilities, achievements, learning, preferences, and needs. Knowing these simple but yet important facts about students will make the biggest difference when it comes to learning in the classroom.


*Teachers who create a warm and supportive classroom environment tend to be more effective with all students.

The environment students and teachers have to be in five times a week will make a huge difference in the student's learning. If the classroom isn't a positive environment then the learning won't be at the level it should be at. It is up to the teacher to create the most effective classroom environment as possible for you and the students.


*Caring teachers who create relationships with their students enhance student learning.

Teachers shouldn't just always stand at the front of the classroom preaching to the students. It is so important to get to know the students as individuals, and show you care for them every day. The relationships between teachers and students will also creates that positive classroom environment mentioned in the above section. Learning will enhance when the surrounding relationships are positive.
