An important strategy
for teachers is to have a growth mind set
for their students so that they will adjust their instruction and practices to
meet the students needs as they grow. The greatest barrier to learning is
often not what the student knows, but what the teacher expects of the students”
(Good, 1987)
Having a community where all children feel comfortable allows the children to
take some risks. If teachers have high expectations for all students and they
know teachers believe in them, they also willing to take more risks. The
environment needs to be full of trust, high expectations, and a lot of
support for all to succeed.
