I believe every child has the opportunity to succeed with the help and guidance of dedicated educators.

I would have the student complete an assessment, and I would also speak to the student to see what areas of difficulty he/she is having in order to put a game plan into place to help that child learn, progress, and feel confident in themselves.

Children become independent learners when they are comfortable and confident in the subject matter. Practice and repetition are key factors in helping a student reach their full potential.

I would consistently verbally praise a student on positive habits, and I would encourage and model positive confidence.

I would try different approaches such as teaching a child verbally with different manipulatives, listening tools, and resources to enhance the learning process.

Reading is all about reinforcement and repetition. I would go over vocabulary words and the proper format for reading in order to understand the main idea, setting, plot, etc.

A student must first gain trust in the adult that is teaching. When that is established, a student can feel comfortable and want to learn, and can then learn from their mistakes to become better and more proficient in that subject matter.

I would show the student the importance of knowledge as a whole, how learning is fundamental, and how the more we can learn the more we can grow and become more aware in our society.
