Correlational Features

“Students must not be able to tease or harass one another based on gender, ethnicity, appearance, religion, or other factors” (471)
Sometimes teachers think that teasing someone is okay as long as that person being teased is okay with it. However this is very often hard to really comprehend and understand when you are not the person being teased and you as a teacher do not understand the dynamics of the friendships involved, or if there truly even are any.
“To a considerable degree, children’s sense of self is based on their own prior successes and failures”. (469)
Oftentimes people see Children at certain ages as simply being able to bounce back from hardships and ignore failures in the past. It is important to know that once you hit a certain age, they will start to remember their successes and failures and use that in tandem with other things to develop their sense of self throughout their developmental stages

“Adults are more effective in nurturing children’s sense of self when they understand how children think, feel, and express themselves” (469)“Teachers and other professionals can support children’s perceptions by treating students with compassion and arranging for instruction and experiences that are growth-promoting. When students have not achieved well at school, teachers can adjust assignments and monitor performance so that students will begin to succeed and see themselves as competent learners. Students must not be able to tease or harass one another based on gender, ethnicity, appearance, religion, or other factors”(469-470).

“Motivates to engage in positive behaviors” (446)
