By using varied teaching methods, clear goal orientation, and formative assessment, you ensure that students not only reach their goals but also develop an understanding of their own learning and how they can improve. You are an active part of preventing and handling conflicts and issues inside and outside the classroom by encouraging cooperation, empathy, and responsibility. You support students in developing their social skills and ability to handle both successes and setbacks constructively.
