Module 1 - Activity 5 Reflection

Something I have learnt over time and something I would like to see implemented in all classrooms across Antigua & Barbuda is that teachers/educators would take the time to get to know their students; get to understand the learning differences among the students in class and what motivates them to learn. Then and only then can teachers plan adequately for the students, catering to the diversities in development. Remember, each child is an individual with his/her own characteristics, personality, abilities, thought processes, learning style - all of which are determined by their environments. As such, it is important that teachers/educators learn to care about each child in the class, thereby gaining his/her trust which will facilitate the learning process. We need to demonstrate to each child that we care and are interest in their achievements.
