Rahimi:
If students identify the teacher as one who is not inclusive, and he/she demonstrates evidence of this attribute in teaching such as choosing teaching materials and methods that do not accommodate for the diverse backgrounds of students, then students may feel isolated in the class and not be engaged in their learning. Please see my linked paper that helps to illuminate my point.
Best regards,

Article One Style Does Not Fit All: Facilitating Cultural Difference...
Dear Rahimi
If you go into my publications page, you can download an article (Bru, Stephens and Torsheim), where, based on a national survey of pupils in Norway, we found that teachers whole pupils identified as a secure emotional base were significantly more likely to enjoy a positive classroom climate. Best wishes and good luck, Paul
I believe Debra's response is very valid. I wish to add that it is the basis for classroom differentiation. For as long as we include different learning styles to account for the visual, auditory and tactile/kinesthetic learner, we are seen to be engaging with all the learners. The part played by motivation, intrinsic or extrinsic, cannot be downplayed.
Hi, Rahimi. It's an interesting question. I explore it with a fine-grained, qualitative approach in this paper (attached and linked below). I hope it helps. I'd love to discuss it with you if it would be useful.

Dear Rahimi,
My fellow researchers and I have been researching the "teacher identity" topic as well. We reached some conclusions, some of which I share here with you:
- the more a teacher knows about theories that can change her/his point of view, the more she/he helps the students learning, because she/he has changed old teaching paradigms;
- the more the teacher knows about process differences in learning and knows how to deal with them, the more she/he helps the students while in the different (learning processes) rythm;
- the more she/he understands about about how emotions are important to learning, the more she/he can come closer to the students real feelings towards the subject, schooling, teacher's roles and so on; by doing so, she/he can facilitate their change in perspective towards learning/wishing to learn.
Therefore, following old philosophy and psicologists, knowing (yourself, the others [students, in this case] the subjetc, the school system, the teaching goals...) makes the whole difference. It all started, in our research, with teacher identity change.
We have a book on this topic, which is written in Portuguese, in case you want it. We're also writing an article to publish in a internacional magazine. Can you suggest one which I could subscribe it to?
Hope I have helped you.
Sincerely,
Eveline Mattos Tápias Oliveira
Teacher identity is a multidimensional concept. It relates with teacher's educational beliefs, values and practices and also with other "contextualized" factors such as job satisfaction, teacher's organizational and occupational commitment and teacher's self-efficacy. Student engagement is affected by all the above parameters, especially by self-efficacy and teacher commitment to students, to school and to the teaching profession. I hope you find the following report relevant and useful.
If the teacher is open and learning, the students will also be open and learn.
It sounds simple and it is!
I think if the students can identify with the teacher as an extension of their own self-concept the learning can improve through group cohesiveness.

The teacher is a paragon of emulation, particularly the young ones. Whatever identity he/she exhibits impacts either positively or negatively, Remember, modelling is one of the teaching-learning strategy, through osmosis and simulation learners benefit a great deal
you are right victor, teachers are role models and their feelings are transmitted to the students, a kind of dominion effect or ripple effect. here's my latest speech on this topic:
