Successful teachers evaluate the internal and external environmental factors that can influence the learning outcomes of students. Such influences range from family and cultural backgrounds to political, economic, and social elements.

Families and educators play important roles in influencing a child’s environment, and therefore, his or her development. The nature verses nurture argument separates what an infant is born with and how their environment affects development. Bronfenbrenner strived to bridge this argument as inseparable and complementary, rather than distinct.
