3rd week- Bates textbook - Aristotle

Week 3 * Aristotle p. 13 * An educator's high or low expectations and feelings for students will influence the way they act and feel about themselves and school. Aristotle's beliefs are based on how "the teacher [guides] the learner to reach their full potential" (Bates, 2023, p. 12) through expectations. If there are high or low expectations for students, their dedication toward school will reflect the educator's beliefs. Educators need to have high expectations for their students in order for them to excel in their performance instead of struggling if there are low expectations. Believing in students encourages and allows for success, which reflects how important it is to "never underestimate the effect of an educator" (Bates, 2023, p. 12).
