Video: What Students Really Want Their Teachers to Know
Link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=lTMLzXzgB_s&feature=shared
In the video, students talk about what they really
want from their teachers. They want their teachers
to care about them, not just their grades. They want
to feel safe and happy in the classroom. The
students want teachers who are kind, patient, and
who really listen to them. They want to be treated
with respect and to know that their feelings matter.
Students also want teachers to understand that
they are all different. Some students learn fast, and
some need more time. They want teachers to be
patient and not get mad if they make mistakes.
They also want teachers to believe in them, even
when they have a hard time. The students are asking
their teachers to see them as real people, not just
someone who sits in a desk.
The main message is this: students want a
teacher who will support them, care about them,
and help them do their best every day. They want
teachers to be there for them, just like they are for
their friends and family.
ACTIVITY 2
Dear Future Students,
Hello! I am very happy to be your teacher soon. I
want you to know that I care about you, and I will
always try my best to help you learn and grow. In
our classroom, you are safe to speak, ask questions,
and share your ideas. I will listen to you, understand
you, and help you if something feels hard. You don’t
have to be perfect. What matters most is that you
try your best, keep going, and never give up.
I want our classroom to be a happy, welcoming
place where we learn new things, help each other,
and grow together as a team. We will laugh, make
mistakes, and learn from them. Mistakes are part of
learning, and every step you take helps you become
stronger and more confident.
I believe each one of you is smart, unique, and
capable of amazing things. I’m excited to learn
about who you are, what you enjoy, and how you
learn best. I promise to support you, cheer you on,
and celebrate your progress either big or small.
This is going to be a wonderful journey, and I can’t
wait to begin it with you.
Your Future Teacher
ACTIVITY 3
There are different types of special education
programs to help students with different needs. One of
them is Early Intervention, which supports babies and
toddlers who may be behind in talking, moving, or
learning. This help is given early, before they start
school, so they can grow and develop important skills.
Another program is the Individualized Education
Program (IEP), which gives students their own learning
plan based on their needs. It includes goals and the
special support they need in school, like extra time on
tests or help from a teacher.
As students get older, they may join Transition
Programs, which prepare them for life after school.
These programs teach important life skills like getting a
job, managing money, or living independently. Another
helpful plan is the Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP),
which is for students who have trouble with behavior. It
teaches them how to manage their feelings, make better
choices, and follow classroom rules.
Some students may also join Pull-Out Programs,
where they leave the classroom for a short time to get
extra help in subjects like reading or math. Others may
stay in the regular classroom but get support through
Inclusion Programs, where they learn with their
classmates but still receive the help they need. All of
these programs work together to make sure every
student has a chance to learn, grow, and succeed.
