    The researcher conducted case studies of three high-achieving urban high schools to identify factors leading to their success. Each school had unique approaches to student achievement, such as flexible scheduling and common assessments. The schools also had strong standards-based instruction and monitored student progress. The researcher found that despite differences, the schools shared a focus on developing positive learning environments and holding teachers accountable for student achievement. As a future teacher, it is important to focus not just on content but on helping students meet their goals.

    Activity 2. How are the findings of this research useful to you as a future teacher?

    Each school has a unique way in terms of structural and operational practices. Creating,
    developing and implementing a positive learning environment are essential things to consider in
    education. Teachers were held accountable for the achievement of students. As a future teacher it
    is important to not just focus on your subject matter, but also to pay attention to your students on
    how to help them to achieve their goals. We must also apply new learning styles in able to get
    the attention of the students and find teaching more enjoyable and less stressful.

    Activity 3. Reflection

    We all grew up in a culture where the teacher talks and the students listen. Students often work
    alone but with monitoring and correction from the teacher, wherein after reading these
    principles, I found out that it is better that the teacher models, and the students don’t just listen
    but also let them interact with teachers and each other. In this process, it helps the students to
    learn and work on their own and enables life-long learning and independent problem solving.
    Teachers play a big role in a student’s achievement in life. They can motivate the learners and
    they can also discourage them in reaching their dreams. I realized that successful teaching isn’t
    based on how much knowledge you have on your subject matter but having a positive
    relationship to your students, on how you interact with them, teach them life lessons and how
    you motivate and encourage your students in reaching their life goals. Learner- centered
    approaches begin with the student and relate all other components of the living system to their
    impact on the student and their learning. We must also consider several factors like school,
    family, culture and community that affect the achievement of a student. Learner-Centered
    principle mainly focused on the students and not on the subject matter. By adapting these
    principles to a teacher’s instructional plan, the task of teaching will find more satisfying.
