2. To address the needs of mixed-ability classrooms (with a wide range of

How can teachers promote achievement success
for every student in their classroom?
As it was demonstrated by tens of researches, I believe that the
determining factor with raising student achievement is the teacher and
what the teacher knows and can do. In fact, to raise achievement for
every student in the class, a number of unavoidable actions must be
taken:
1. The teacher must have an excellent knowledge of the curricula, the subjects,
the concepts and notions to be taught;
2. He has to set clear objectives and set high and appropriate expectations for
all students at all levels prior attainment. Each lesson’s goals must be
clearly specified for each student and reviewed at the end of the lesson, so
that each learner has a strong sense of achievement;
3. The teacher must differentiate instructions and create appropriate strategies
and designs to present these subjects and concepts in meaningful and
authentic activities to meet students’ interests and capacities and ‘’hook’’
them to their learning. Forthis reason, and from the start of the schoolyour,
a skilled teacher has to establish the class profile and define each student
specific needs, so that he can provide adapted instructions and directives on
the basis of each student’s competencies. In this sight, an effective teaching

4. for an effective learning, requires a regular adjustments of the learning pace
as a result of students’ responses. Theteacher must give enough time for
reflection and encourages inquiry, investigation, and high order thinking;
4. As a part of an efficient class and time management, the teacher must
organize the classroom to match learning activities to the individual
student’s needs. He has to ensure a positive learning environment where
learner’s ideas and beliefs are respected and his efforts against issues and
challenges are valuated. Such an action, improves student’s self-confidence
and increase his feeling that his efforts are worthwhile. In this sight,
planning an individualized teaching and assessment is a must to meet
varying skills and variable needs;
5. The teacher is constantly asked to update, regulate and create effective
teaching practices and approaches to accommodate with his students’
varying needs, their intelligences and learning styles. So, he has to
individualize questions and ensure an effective use of different resources to
vary his teaching and promote an outstanding learning. Also, the teacher has
to find an appropriate balance between collaborative and independent
learning and expect each student to take the main part of responsibility for
his own learning.
