What is meant by this statement it is the teacher’s responsibility to be the engineer of student success?

It is the teacher’s responsibility to be the engineer of student success. The teacher of a differentiated classroom defines student success as growth toward and beyond goals, as well as growth relative to oneself (e.g., where you started compared to where you ended up).

Should student have a greater say in what they learn?
