Teachers Care
Content: It becomes real, specific and tangible. Once you become a teacher, you care, not just about education, but about your students’ education. Great teachers care about their students. They want them to succeed and are committed to helping them achieve their goals. Moreover, teachers care about their students’ happiness, well-being and life beyond the classroom. Investing yourself in your students creates a positive atmosphere in the classroom that can enhance your relationship with students and makes them feel important. A student is far more likely to respond to a teacher who cares, and is therefore more likely to learn and engage. Connecting with your students establishes trust, which is important to the students’ learning because it makes them comfortable enough to participate, ask for help when needed, and pay closer attention to advice and encouragement. Also, students feel better about themselves if they feel that a teacher has taken a genuine interest in them; they are motivated, and stronger self-assurance can make it easier for the student to challenge themselves academically.
