Showing care to the student is part of the longevity relationship between teacher and student. As a teacher, we are not only demanded to teach the matter without adopting caring principle toward the advancement to the value of teaching-learning contact in the classroom. We decided to be a teacher because we were trained not only teaching but also caring to education and student. We know the lasting impact a good teacher may have a student who experiences our care and it will make a positive impact on someone else. Yes, we want to be a good role model, as a teacher we are created to be good example personality alongside with commitment to teaching and willing to accept this duty as we care about education, we care about the development of students. Once we become a teacher, we show our care every day, not just about education itself, but beyond that, we commit to caring about student's education.
Investing our self in our students lead the positive condition in the classroom that can develop our relationship with our student and make them the important individual at school. Normally, a student who accepts the care from a teacher will be a more responsive individual who likely becomes more active student to engage in the learning process. Therefore, the connection between teacher and student to tie a trust, which is important to have in student's learning because it makes them comfortable enough to participate in the teaching-learning process. They have no hesitation to ask for help from us, and paying close attention to have more advice and encouragement. We might have experienced this matter when we teach our student, they show a serious attention when they feel that we have taken a genuine interest in them. We can also detect their eagerness when they are in the classroom; they are motivated, a stronger self-assurance that encourages them to love the subject that we are teaching. Surely, we found a lot of variety of student who needs a special care, especially younger students who are far away from their parent and broken home student that take our serious efforts to show our best care to them, as caring teacher is comforting and helps make the teaching-learning easier. In order to have a good care to our student, it is better to understand some steps.
Knowing our student background
As a teacher, we may break down this matter as we commonly understand that students who choose our school are from the different living area or cultural and socio-economic background that takes our concern to this distinction background. As we may all know that the cultural misunderstanding between teacher and student can lead to the negative impact on student educational experience. There, we have to seek a specific time to provide a "the problematic inventory or the list that they can freely fill in." In that sheet, the student can write what are the things that they like most. Through their response, we can have ideas to adjust the teaching style that more relevant to their lives and let the student know that we care about them.
Be a good listener
As a teacher, we must actively listen to our student, in term of a problem that they face. Being a good listener is part of showing them that we truly care about their advancement. We might not involve our selfishness when we deal with a student who needs our care. It can make them disappointing when we ignored them. Show them that we are actively listening, then we can come across with them to ensure that they have understood properly. It stresses that student's dignity is important and help develop a trust connection and relationship between a teacher and student. Sure, we used to deal with the trouble in the classroom that requires much time to focus listening to a student who really needs our care, but we must set a good time when there are fewer distractions.
Reflecting our own experience to them
Most of the time, we continuously care for others, especially to the student who need our special care. We know the way we care through the reflection of our experience. We were like them and we know more-less about our teacher cared us when we were a student, we did feel when we had a problem with study and other associated problem. Based on this reflection we can make assumptions about the student's background to receive the different type of care which might have been suited to their needs. It is necessary to reflect on how we give a care for a student that will give us insight into the kind of care which extend to our students and allow us to adjust the care that fit their needs. As teachers, we often realize the smallest care result the huge impact on our students. This impact will be remembered by students for the rest of their life.
Knowing their response
In order to know the appropriate caring, we may involve our student to measure how we care them, do our care go the right way? We may start to ask them to write down their opinion in couple sentence. I did this to make sure that my care went the right way. They can write if they feel my care is not effected to their life and what confuses or concern them about the topic. By having their response, we are showing that we appreciate their value of opinion and experience that they received from us so far. It also creates a classroom culture where students feel safe to ask questions and take chances, which will help them grow academically.
Conclusion
A good teacher may not hide their care. Caring is part of giving them a motivation, encouraging them to tell us the problem and showing our student that we are vested in education. We do our best job to teach them that allocates a sufficient time to notice their problem. It is also important to meet their parent to solve the student problem. We may take note of our student's performance in which we can conclude the last action of our care. It is our job too, to make a student feel as their life is not just a homework, score, grade but with care, we make them motivated to do the best thing in their life. In today's world, they are some ways to show our simple to our student, they can be like sending a message via social media, facebook, or email or even a phone call that reconnect us with our student after school hour. They will realize our care that it can bring a positive impact and a recognization of our existence in their future life.

hehe...we are teacher, everybody can be a teacher. thank you brother!
as the old saying goes, "they will never care how much you know until they know how much you care." teachers are called second parents for a reason and primarily it is because we are to care for them.at the end of the day, our students may not rememver the lessons taught in class but they will remember and be grateful for the care they have received. good suggestions given. if i may add, initiating conversations and asking questions about them and their interests are also good ways to show them care. will be following you for more posts like this. hope you follow me too even if im just a newbie.
