Teaching aims to support the learner’s overall development.
Why C fits: Education involves intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and ethical growth rather than only one dimension.
Why the others are narrower: Raising intellectual or physical standards alone covers only part of development. Imposing a value system does not respect learners’ capacity to think and form reasoned judgements.
In practice: A teacher plans meaningful learning experiences, encourages participation, provides feedback, and supports each student’s progress.
