After watching the videos on brain architecture, plasticity, and understanding the impact of the environment on a child, how does this information impact you as a teacher?
As a teacher, I feel a greater responsibility to the environment and atmosphere I create for my students, as I now realize how important these factors are in my students' success. It also empowers me to be active in cultivating positive learning habits in my students.
Brad,
ReplyDeleteThis information is so important for teachers to help their students be as successful as possible in school and in their life.
The early years have such a strong impact and that can be well before a child even gets to school.
Of course as teachers we don't have control over our student's home life and environment outside of school. But knowing this information will help us understand our students better.
