Summary
I believe a constant and consistent teaching approach reveals academic growth, when paired with a structured environment, which yields a sense of security. This promotes conditions for the process of cognitive thought, critical thinking, and intellectual growth that will lead to the development of the students social and emotional well being; self worth, self-confidence and belief in one's success to overcome.
