Chapter 4 What Really Matters in Planning for Student Success?

All students are different and they have varying skills. The teacher’s goal should be to help his or her students to develop a hunger for the learning process. An effective teacher will encourage each of his or her students to understand the usefulness of a subject to them within their skills. Throughout this chapter, the authors encouraged teachers to look for ways to include each student in their own learning. It was emphasized that students should be given roles in managing their own progress. As a teacher it will be important for me to help my students to realize their own academic goals and for them to take an active role in seeing those goals accomplished.
