Literature Review:
Role of teachers to polish the children:
The teachers are the one who plays an important role in the life of children. The relationship between the student and teacher is so different and special. The teachers give shape to the ideas and thinking of their students. They put their efforts into illustrating, elaborating, modeling, guiding and assessing the students (Thielking, Sala, & Flatau, 2017). The effective teaching remains in the memory of the students who witness and experience it. In present times, the role of the teacher is considerably different than they used to be. In the past time, the teachers were assigned by a specific topic to teach and give a set of rules that how to teach them by the use of the same techniques for all the students. But in the present century, the role of the teacher is simply multilayered. Their task includes the counseling of the students, gives them assistance in guiding that how to make use of their knowledge in an effective way and implement in their lives in the best manner so that they become the valuable members of the society.
According to the Australian Professional Standards for Teacher today’s teaching profession is bringing out various rules to promote education. The teachers work with colleagues, politicians and the members of the community to bring clear and effective standards for their students. They make participation in the decision making which gives them assistance to deal with problems that have an impact on the learning of the students. There is some institution in Australia that mentor the new teachers to gives teaching to the students in a meaningful way (Forlin, 2010).

There is a large number of ways in which a teacher would overcome the individual differences in personality development of the children and some of the ways are as under:
Consideration of each child’s need:
From a large number of ways, the consideration the needs of each individual are very important. The teacher must have to understand the interests of the child which means what the student is thinking and what they need for them. The children can only do their best in the field and the things in which they have a great interest.
Appreciation of Individual Child’s Advancement:
If the child does their best in the task and gives the best outcome then they expect some kind of appreciation in the response (Pezaro, 2016). So, every teacher should see the efforts of each child in an individual way and praise them for their work. In this way the confidence of the child boosts up an in the future they will do more work with the more improvement.
Division of tasks:
It is the responsibility of every teacher to observe their child and must know the abilities they are blessed with. After observing them the teachers have to assign those tasks to the students which they can do them in the perfect way and he has the ability to do it (Westwood, 2016). From this way, the students also make use of their skills and abilities in the best way to fulfill these tasks.
Assist children to learn at their own pace:
In the Australian Professional Standards for Teacher, this is also mentioned that the teachers should give assistance to their students so that they can learn at their own pace. The teachers should give time to the student individually so that they can easily ask questions and share their problems with you (Masters, 2015).
Extra Teaching to Slow Learners:
Every student in the class is different from the other. Some have a great mind that can easily pick up the things and shows the results in a very fast time. But others are slow who take some time to get the proper understanding of the things. So, in this the role of the teachers is very important and which is the assistance of the slow learners. The teachers should give some extra time and guidance so they can go with the other students in the class and gives the best results that the other students present.

The research has shown that if the students do not take the activity of learning important for Tehri time and effort they will not succeed in engaging in activity in a satisfactory way. To make sure that the actions are generally meaningful the teachers can connect the students with Tehri previous knowledge and experience and brings prominence in the value of an assigned action in personally related ways.

The implementation of the autonomy support by the different ways and these are as under:
• Welcome the opinions and thinking of the students in the flow of action.

When students make an engagement with the learning and develop the various skills such as repeat, mirror and go through the doings of the others either at that or after some time make links between experiences, concepts and the procedures. The teachers play the most important role in this to promote the learning when they observe that children make the application of the learning in the new and creative ways, they talk about them in various ways that make the student more confident and brings some sense of growth in them. From this way, there is a sense of security and confidence develop in the student which pushes that to involve with the environment so in this way they get the success.
