Different
abilities, different needs
We are not all born the same, each one of us is born with certain
characteristics, specific way of understanding, specific intelligence. So, in a
class of more than 20 students for example, you must give the information to
all students that have different ways or abilities to understand the idea. Some
students might depend on vision, others to listening, some needs the experiment
to be done in front of them, so you have different types of learners in the
class. Here, the role of the teacher come, its the teacher responsibility to
design an environment in which each member in the class can succeed. Such
environment is characterized by community, mutual support, risk taking, and a
higher-level of thinking for all. The teacher must influence students and motivate
them, so that all of them will by encouraged in learning process. 
I can't agree more! A teacher isn't only a source of information. He/she has a major effect of each and every student in the class.I believe the most successful teacher isn't a teacher who has a lot of information but a teacher who knows each and every student in the class. When a teacher grabs students' attention, he/she succeeds! Only a teacher who solely knows her students can actually grab their attention. Lisa Galarza hit me when she said, "My students don't need me to learn, they need me to care."
