What Can Teachers Do?
What and how an educator teaches is important. According to the Journal of Personnel Evaluation in Education, it best to evaluate a teacher's success by closely looking at the success of their students (Wright 1). With that being said, teachers must know what their students need. They need to learn how to see exactly what type of learners their students are, what they're capable of, where they struggle, and where they can be challenged. On top of that, teachers must show their students that their classrooms are a safe place where mistakes are welcome and achievements are rewarded. If students feel like they truly belong in the environment that their teachers have created for them, then they can more comfortably put their focus on their school work.
