Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing a supportive, positive environment for all students helps to create a safe and comfortable learning atmosphere where students are more likely to feel engaged, motivated, and confident to take on academic challenges. Focusing on negative behavior or merely rewarding positive behavior with candy may not address the fundamental needs of students and may even discourage them from seeking out the teacher for help or guidance. Similarly, giving at-risk students plenty of time for skill sheets may not be sufficient to address their academic challenges, and may not foster a sense of belonging or efficacy among them.
