Conclusion
Teachers must be equipped with the skills that are necessary for improved student
achievement in order to successfully teach and accommodate the needs of all children.
Classrooms are intended to be positive, supportive environments where there is a deep
understanding of students social, emotional, and physical well being. And it is important
to recognize, nurture, and strengthen the talents found in each student. Teachers who are
trained to use various evidence-based teaching methods, both instructional and
behavioral, are better prepared to educate in these diverse learning environments and will
naturally excel as an educator (Baker, 2005).
Understanding and using specific strategies will allow teachers to improve student
achievement levels, provide a wider range of instructional alternatives, and promote
diversified learning methods for any degree of student ability. It is a teacher’s awareness
of the various tools and resources that builds a bridge across educational achievement
gaps. Becoming experts on these useful strategies is a concrete way to ensure that “all
students have a better chance to learn, excel, and live out their dreams”.
