In class seven we discussed the true value in setting targets. Anybody could tell you that setting these goals in anything in life. When you have something to work towards, it makes the struggles and sacrifices worthwhile and rewarding. Reflecting back upon those hardships give the outcome a sweeter taste so to speed. A accomplishment gives you confidence you can't develop anyway else.
With this being said, when a person embarks on such a journey (especially a student) it's important to provide them with all the support possible. This support of course needs to be specialized for each individual. Different people, are different. They have different personalities and require different kinds of support.
Personally I believe my own inclinations and preferences for teaching would be logical and straight forward. I see myself as a flexible and open person. I think a big part in being a good teacher is focusing on what your strengths are and working with those. I pride myself on being a compassionate and understanding person, this has always helped me in teaching instances, including my time as a work experience student and the president of our local 4-H club.
