teachers bear the responsibility of educating the children placed in
their care. Although they play many other important roles in the

environment, mentor and nurture student minds while being their role
model, even listening to their problems and look for any signs of
trouble in their learning as well as personal lives.

session. Teachings happen in different ways such as through lectures,
small group activities and hands-on learning activities.

to the environment. Usually, students mimic teachers. A warm and happy
environment helps in maintaining a healthy and happy environment for better and focused learning. A teacher could make the environment positive or negative. If the students sense anger in the teacher, they
may react negatively and can impair the learning. Teachers are
responsible for social behaviour in the classrooms. The behaviour is
primarily a reflection of the actions of teachers and the environment
set by them.

grow and nurture their minds. Societies and communities highly respect

students have to say, teacher impart a sense a ownership in the
classroom. It apart from other elements helps in building their
confidence and making them successful.
