Teachers

Just as teachers can make a great impact on general education students they also make a great impact, if not a more significant one on a student with a disability. A teacher impacts the entire mood of the classroom. They can affect how everyone feels in it and how everyone learns. They also impact how they are at home because it can make them want to go to school or not. It also affects their ability to learn. A teacher can make or break a student’s attitude towards learning and school in general. A good teacher can have the most positive impact on a student’s life out of anyone else in their life.

If the teacher is in a great mood, then everyone in the room feeds off that. Likewise if the teacher is in a bad mood or doesn’t want to be there, the students pick up on that and react to that. The students with disabilities are very sensitive to people’s moods around them, so if there are negative moods in the room, they are more likely to misbehave and act out. This can be prevented easily by creating a happy, positive environment for them to learn in.

The attitude in the classroom affects how well they are able to learn.

The teacher can also affect how well they learn.
