After reading the first chapter of Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, the goals for a teacher are absolutely essential. If the teacher isn't organized and doesn't have a set plan, the students, as well as the teacher can get lost very quickly. It is important to understand each student and incorporate the way they learn into each lesson plan. The teacher must be in control, but also work as a guide to help students understand and find what they are learning as useful. Obviously, it can't all be fun and games, but there is a fine line of balance in between being an authoritarian and a role model the students can look to for help and anything else they might need. It is unfortunate a lot of teachers use power and punishment as threats, but with me that always worked. It just depends on the student, and the kind of person the teacher is. The teacher must know that fine line, and they must do whatever is in their power to make the classroom feel like a friendly, learning environment for the students.
