learn, develop, etc. is to be an example. Though good or bad, a child watches the example shown
around them. In comparison of a bad or a good teacher one might say that bad would be
belittling and a good one shows interest/wants students to succeed. The influence and example
of a teacher can effect a student for his/her whole life. Another way a teacher has an effect on a
student is the way in which material is presented and how the needed material is taught.
A teachers perception on how to teach and relay information is also very important to a
students ability to learn as well. In order for a teacher to teach, he/she needs to be able to
understand the students. There are many factors that play into a students learning pathway.
Examples from the book are: Maturation, attentiveness, past experiences, and emotions (Berns,
2013).These all influence how a student perceives many things in life. A teacher must
accommodate to each individual childs different perceptive learning styles. The goal as is to
understand the differing approaches that a student will have in his/her learning process, as well
as have the ability to adapt to the needs of each student and create the instruction needed to meet
those requirements. By creating smaller goals this is easier to approach.
Setting goals in education is vital to the heart of learning. Goals incorporate the very
essence of education itself. Without goals there is essentially nowhere to set the bar for growth.
Teachers can encourage children to explore, to satisfy their natural curiosity, and to love
learning (Berns, 2013, p. 240).With goal setting, each of these things can be elevated and
promote the growth needed. Goal structures are important to implement in the classroom. The
reason being that students can learn not just how important individual goals are to accomplish
but also how group goals are important. Group goals help students to realize the success of
others is just as important as their own success. Having a goal structure promotes and prepares
students for an increase in collaborative workforce (Berns, 2013).
and make adjustments needed along the way if learning improves, steadies, or worsens. To
ensure a student learns, it is required that we know different learning styles. Children have
different ways they learn best, and teachers have different ways they teach best (Berns, 2013, p.
253). Finding the way a child learns best is the greatest way to ensure learning.
Conclusion
Its hard to imagine a world without the wonderful example of a teacher. I had so many
teachers who made me who I am today because of who they were and the great educator they
made themselves out to be. Without the help of all these wonderful examples, I would be in the
place I am today, doing the things I am doing. In order to become an example to someone else
(what these teachers where to me), I must go above and beyond the statements made above. I
know just as students learn, teachers do to. I know that I will learn along the way things that will
be beneficial to my growth and knowledge of a being a teacher. Students ability to learn, social
ecology, cultural diversity, and curriculum are all things that need to be understood as a teacher
and should be constantly under review. Life is full of learning and growth, I am glad I get to be a
part of not just my own, but others as well.
