Role of the Teacher in pupil’s Adjustment
Teacher
can take the following steps to bring an improved adjustment of pupils.
1. Provide a classroom climate that permits the students to
feel free to express themselves and to put forth their best efforts as
individuals and as members of group.
2. Develop pupil’s self-respect and self-esteem by
compliments for work well done, a smile or a word of recognition.
3. The degree of one’s adjustment is directly proportional
to one’s feeling of satisfaction with regard to one’s varying needs. Therefore,
the school atmosphere should be such that the child should not suffer from
physical, mental, emotional and social starvation.

development and to exercise control over their emotions.
5. Help the students to set proper level of aspiration by
identifying their needs and abilities.
