Teachers should get to know their students by remembering details about them, listening to how they are getting on with activities, and paying attention to them. Students will feel pleased when they realize their teacher understands them. Teachers also need to be aware that students have different learning styles, intelligences, and preferences for how they want to be corrected, without using mockery or disrespect. The reasons some students may not speak up can vary, such as shyness or cultural and family backgrounds.
