Supporting Students: The Foundation of Guidance in the Classroom
Bilac, Sanja
Schools: Studies in Education, v9 n2 p134-146 Fall 2012
Why is it important to provide support to students in the classroom? It is an empirical fact that precisely this part of the "internal school life" considerably influences the positive development and satisfaction of the school. Some anecdotes from school remain merely memories, while others become values that are carefully protected one's whole life. In this piece, a tender and warm classroom story is presented as a way of encouraging educators to consider the importance of insight into and provision of student support. The program "Step by Step" is implemented into classroom curricula, along with integrated planning and instruction, the creation of a team atmosphere, intensive interaction between adults and students, and the development of strong partnerships with parents and the community. The essay describes different scenarios in which support is offered to a student. The teacher effectively manages the classroom and creates in it a positive atmosphere. (Contains 8 figures.)
