The kind of teacher you choose to be is based in part on your reasons for teaching.
Teachers must provide motivating methods and materials for students, by recognizing that students are individuals with their own set of needs, abilities, and self-esteem.
Learning paradigm teachers focus on what students do to construct their own knowledge. Such teachers focus on the essence of the teaching act, not on the busyness of the students.
Students have different ways of thinking and learning, including but not limited to visual, auditory, and tactile processes.
Students can be taught learning-to-learn skills, critical thinking skills, and creative thinking skills. The idea is for the teacher to move from teaching the facts and right answers to problem solving and creative thinking.
