One of the most important aspects of INTASC is that teachers meet the needs of diverse students. Educational goals should be similar and consistent for all students in a classroom, but teachers should take differing approaches when dealing with diverse students. It is also important the teacher realizes each individual student has a unique learning style that the teacher should consider when planning her daily educational activities.
Teachers should communicate with other teachers, administrators and parents about how their students are progressing. Teachers should also find ways to communicate with their students in a way that helps students realize their potential. The teacher should inform her students how the work they are doing will help them as they proceed to college or the workplace.
The INTASC method asserts that educators and administrators have many responsibilities to their students and their communities. Teachers should be knowledgeable in their area of expertise, willing to help students meet their educational goals and excited about the opportunity to help children grow. Administrators should support teachers and guide them in their decision-making. It is the role of the administrator to ensure things are going according to plan in the classroom.
The INTASC method values the involvement of the school, parent and community in the student learning process. Teachers and administrators should try to get students involved in the community, with such things as community service projects and fundraisers. Teachers and administrators should inform parents and community members about what is going on in the classroom and how they can help foster learning outside the classroom.
