Teacher Importance
The most salient and important variable in a students
education is the teacher. Teachers establish the climate,
define the tasks, communicate the expectations, help
translate the content, monitor understanding, determine the
time frame for work completion, and serve as the guide,
coach and facilitator throughout the learning process. Of
critical importance is the duty of the teacher to establish the
psychological climate in which the teacher-learning- process
takes place, the students often perceive themselves and
their capabilities through the eyes of the teacher and he or
she communicate the message of student efficacy. Through
these efforts, teachers build bridges to knowledge.
