This chapter talks about supporting the students in order for them to be successful. It is also important for students to take risk, like asking questions even if they do not feel comfortable (a supportive environment helps allow students to do this). It is imperative that the teacher gives the students feedback on their work. Feedback helps students actually fix what they might have done wrong. Revisions are also important when there are major papers/ projects. This allows students to see what they did wrong and make it better.
I definitely understood where students were coming from when they were talking about not feeling comfortable enough to ask questions. I have felt that way before. I will definitely have to make sure that students feel comfortable in my classroom. Trust will also allow students to take that risk and ask questions without feeling embarrassed. I think that I will make sure that my students know that they will not be judge no matter what question they ask.
