My expectation of all students is that they try to learn. Many children could do much better in school, but they put no effort into learning. I will also expect all of my students to be open and honest with me. If they are having problems with a certain subject, I expect them to ask for help. Being a teacher makes me a catalyst for educational change.
Children go through many stages during their growth.
We as teachers have to be able to assist them through these stages, but we also have to let them learn things for themselves. Teachers have to be able to adapt to their students. Every year they will receive a new group that may be more advanced or less advanced than the last class. Altering of lessons will need to be done frequently to adapt to the class.
