Content: I certainly hope they do, as it may help them help teachers. 12 Priorities For The Modern Teacher
1. Students
First, teachers are concerned about the welfare and education of their students. Most teachers enter the profession because they want to help students learn and become healthy, happy adults. While their primary concern is education, teachers often find that they are assuming other roles as well, such as counselor, disciplinarian, and advocate. Each student that comes to a classroom is unique and many of them have challenges that teachers try to help them overcome. Some challenges are not within the purview of teachers, such as home situations, even though they find themselves trying to help. Thank goodness for guidance counselors and school psychologists; they are the right people for that job. Others, specifically related to learning, are a teacher’s concern.
