(B), (C) and (D) only
- C.
(C), (D) and (E) only
- D.
(A), (D) and (E) only
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
A transformational teaching approach inspires learners, builds trust, communicates high expectations, encourages problem solving and gives individual consideration. Thus (A), (D) and (E) are appropriate. Contingent rewards and intervening only when standards are not met are associated more with transactional approaches, so (B) and (C) are not appropriate here. Therefore, the correct answer is (A), (D) and (E) only.
