Tiffany is a new third-grade teacher who needs advice on how to be the best possible teacher. Based on the text, what advice can you give her?
What will be an ideal response?
Tell Tiffany to try to teach to children's different intelligences and not to rely heavily on standardized test scores to define and label students. Tiffany should try to minimize competition for grades and give creative work to everyone, rather than simply using rote worksheets. To foster intrinsic motivation, she should teach to students' passions, give them choices (within reason) about how to do assignments and what to study or learn, and foster a secure attachment with every child. The children in her class should want to learn for the sake of learning and want to learn to make their teacher proud.
