SO, whAT EXACTLY IS THE IMPACT THAT TEACHERS CAN HAVE ON STUDENTS?
Overall, it is accepted that teachers can leave a negative or a positive impact on students. Obviously, not every student is going to immediately "click" with every teacher, but that does not mean that the teacher can not positively influence them. Even though a teacher might have a different teaching style than the student's preferred methods, a teacher can still accommodate to their personal learning styles and leave them with a well-rounded educational experience.
However, an educational experience can quickly become a negative one if a teacher is unwilling to teach with new approaches or attempt to use different learning styles.
Personally, the best experiences I've had with teachers have been years that the teacher has assigned tasks that revolve around every learning style, even though it pushes me out of my comfort zone. However, even though I seem to dislike a certain method at first, it stretches my creativity and enhances my thought processes and problem-solving skills.
So, overall, teachers can have an extremely beneficial influence on students that allow them to explore their individual creativity and recognize their potential to succeed. Through quality training programs and individualized teaching techniques, teachers can provide a high quality academic experience. Also, through encouragement and a willingness to listen to students discuss their lives outside of school, teachers can establish a relationship with students that allow them to disregard their circumstances at home and focus on preparing themselves at school for a better future, through hard work and responsibility.
