Teachers must make it clear to their students that learning is important. Students may not do well every day because things can happen and a teacher must not treat the student like a failure just because they have a few “bad” days. Teachers should show their students that they support them and one way of doing this is by offering help when they are struggling. Feedback is also very beneficial for students, as is the opportunity to revise. Risk taking (such as speaking out in class) should be promoted to show that the teacher believes in their students.
I really loved the revision worksheet! The questions are straight forward for students and I might even use this sheet while I am still in college for myself. I feel like teachers sometimes treat the students that do poorly differently than the other students. While I was in high school I would notice teachers treating students like they expected them to not do the work. A lot of teachers did not accept late work or revisions at all. I feel students should be allowed to turn in work late, but they should talk to the teacher. If I noticed that a student kept turning assignments in late, I would have a talk with them about it to find out why they are turning the work in late and figure out a plan for how the work can be done sooner. I would encourage my students to revise work as well because I do not think that anything below a 50 should be added to the gradebook.
