What teachers need to do for themselves in the classroom.

Submitted by Percy Thomas (not verified) on September 1, 2007 - 02:32.

Teachers need to first create a vision of success for themselves for each course they teach. Secondly, the teacher must facilitate a vision of student success for each student. After each student has a written vision statement for success, the teacher must facilitate the alignment of each student’s personal vision with the teacher’s vision of success for the course. The key here is that each student will know exactly how the course links to the achievement of their personal vision.

Teachers operating in class without a personal vision of success for themselves in each class are at risk of having a difficult time in motivating students to take the instruction seriously. If the teacher's student does not have a vision for life, and is unable to tie the course material to the achievement of a personal vision or reaching a goal, their students are likely remain largely unmotivated to do their best.

Bottom-line for teachers are to know their personal vision and the vision of each student.
