Based on studies of factors related to student achievement, which of the following factors most likely makes the largest impact on Carson's success?(A) His teacher's content knowledge in fifth grade subjects(B) His teacher's knowledge and skill in classroom management(C) His increased interest in school(D) His increased ability to follow rules and procedures

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) His teacher's knowledge and skill in classroom management

Explanation:

From the moment the teacher realizes that the student has learning difficulties and ease of distraction, the problem also becomes the teacher's.

When the teacher detects a student with this kind of difficulty, the teacher needs to devise strategies to help the student overcome these negatives. Therefore, the teacher must use all his knowledge and skill to create classroom management that engages the student and makes learning enjoyable and easy.

For this reason, if Carson was able to overcome his problems of learning disability and concentration and ease of distraction, much of this overcoming was made possible by his teacher's knowledge and skill in classroom management.
