Working with sixth graders, i've come to realize that their confidence as students and as individuals overall begin to drop when they hit 10-11 years old. In sixth grade, the average student is 11-12 years old. I now understand how important it is as a teacher to really help the students achieve maximum success by making them believe they are capable of , not only that, but so much more as well. A student with a high self-esteem is proven to work more efficiently in the social aspect of the classrooms such as presentations, and debates. These students need reminders of how bright they are, and it is our jobs as TA's and Teachers to remind them of it.
