Your view of students’ abilities- the first thing I would do for this is not base their abilities on standardized tests. They are important for the school system but they do not necessarily measure the student’s ability. Students have a lot of pressure on them to perform well on the tests by the school and as a teacher I need to let them know that it is important for them to perform well on them, but just because they did not score well on it does not mean that their ability is any less than a kid that did do well. The second thing I would do is not embarrass kids that might have disabilities. I will have kids at some point that have dyslexia or adhd and when they need help I don’t need to point out to the class that they need extra help.

This does nothing to help the students out. It hurts the positive environment we are trying to create. We are role-models for our students and if we can talk bad about or colleagues the students will do the same with their peers and so
