But, when things do not go as planned, teachers need to be able to change their plans. Being friendly, sensitive, and patient are important to make students comfortable. Teachers also need to be motivated, creative, and enthusiastic to make lessons effective and to make the classroom a place to discover new things. The nature of student learning is very important. If the needs of students are met, they will be able to learn more.
Instruction needs to be fun, memorable, and authentic.
Both gifted and talented and special education students should have opportunities to learn in the classroom. It is essential to create a community of learners and to assure an appropriate educational environment for all types of students. Teachers have many responsibilities to colleagues, parents, and communities to create a community of learners. Teachers need close contact with parents on important issues. Newsletters are a good way to keep parents informed.
