Teacher Impact

Teachers have huge impacts on thier students. Children spend a large amount of their time at school. This is time where the teacher is the one they look to as an example. As a role model the teacher influences what the students do and how much they enjoy doing it. For a childs physical development they can encourage children to play outside when they get home and be active with them at recess. They can also tell the students stories of ways they are active outside of school. When it comes to a childs emotional and social development teachers have an impact as well. As they children work throughout the day the teacher could have them work in groups inorder to develop their comunication skills and make them work with another person. The teacher also show them they care emotionally. For example if a student is crying they could take the time to listen to them and find out what is wrong. As for cognitive development they have the most influence on these children. Their whole job is to teach their students. In order to maximize what the students learn they may take in to account the students strengths and weaknesses and the way they learn best and incorporate that into the lesson plans. This is how the teacher impacts a child's development.
