    For all of my life, building close relationships has been the key to my success. I form relationships successfully in a small, comfortable setting. In school, classrooms are an accessible way for myself to accomplish this with my teacher. For every teacher I was close to, the class I had with them was my top class. One of the main reasons I chose Clarkson College was because I admired it was a private college with a limited student to teacher ratio.…

I know that in a normal classroom you wont always have 2 people or a teachers aide to be able to fix mistakes.…

    It’s a wonderful thing to come to class, ask a close peer an opinion and be able to discuss it to the point where a conclusion can be drawn from it. Having a team full of members who want to be there and participating was also a very great personal help. I did my best to come in everyday with everything read in detail, but often times information can easily be lost overnight. Having others with even more detailed notes, or just perhaps an alternate understanding, leads to a much more fulfilled classroom experience when it comes time for discussions that occur post-group…

If teachers have a better understanding of the emotional and academic support needed by their students during this transitional period, they can make adjustments to their teaching strategies, learning environment, structure, and student involvement, to best suit the needs of their students.
