In addition, teachers often are role models, cheerleaders, and mentors.

When a teacher strives to understand their students on a more individualized level, students realize that they are genuinely cared...

Through my work as a volunteer teacher with Lake Erie Ink, I've learned that any disdain for learning is derived from a neglect of the complexity of learning -- the endless means and modes of learning, which, when sculpted to the needs of specific individuals, can completely change the way a person views the world. Engagement, ingenuity, and patience in teaching can revolutionize a student's grades, and, more importantly, their self-image,...
