To facilitate the learning process, the teacher must assemble and manage all the component parts of the instructional relationship. In addition, the teacher must gauge the ability and readiness of the student to embark on each mission of discovery and tailor the assignment to the student's ability.
The physical organization of the classroom and it's environment in addition to the choice of, and access to, technology is just as important to the learning process as content, teaching method, leadership style and discipline in providing
the opportunity to learn. |

Technology |
Technology used in a classroom has to be adaptable to a variety of learning styles and teaching methods. The best teaching technology permits the teacher to create interactive learning experiences built around real-world problems.
Technology configurations should emphasize cooperative learning models and allow heterogeneous groupings of students to work together collaboratively. Technology should also emphasize higher level problem-solving ability while reinforcing basic cognitive and reasoning skills. |
| Motivation |
The most important educational goal is for students to learn not just memorize and recall data. Another material goal is to make newly gained knowledge and information purposeful and meaningful to the student so that it may be effectively retained and used throughout their lives.
An essential factor involved in meeting these goals is motivation. If students are unmotivated, for whatever reason, it is likely that scant learning will take place. Under phlegmatic conditions, if limited learning does take place, it is likely that the student won't retain it. Maslow's Hierarchy of Need has tremendous impact on academic planning. |
