Teaching includes more than leadership.Some of the teacher's time and effort is directed toward instruction, sometoward evaluation(评价). But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effectiveorganizational structure and good working environment so that instruction andevaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized,unclear about its goals, or constantly fighting among its members will not be agood learning group. The leadership pattern includes helping to form and keepup a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluationactivities can take place.

On the first day of class the teacher facesa room filled with individuals. Perhaps a few closely united groups andfriendships already exist. But there is no sense of belonging. If teachers aresuccessful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationshipsthat encourages cooperation.

Standards and rules must be set up thatkeep order, ensure justice, and protect individual rights, but are not againstschool policy. What happens when one student hurts another's individual rights?Without clear guidelines agreeable to students, teachers, and administration(行政管理), the classroom can be indisorder. Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards areset without opinions from the class, students may spend a great deal ofcreative energy in ruining the class environment, finding ways to break rules.

No matter how skillful the teacher is inuniting students and setting up a positive atmosphere, the task is nevercomplete. Regular maintenance(保持) is necessary. Conflicts(冲突) arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind oflearning task requires a new organizational structure. Sometimes out pressuressuch as holidays, upcoming tests or athletic contests, or family troubles causepressure in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to bring back a positiveenvironment by helping students deal with conflicts, changes and pressure.
