What Makes A Teacher Great

What makes a teacher great?

A great teacher must have patience, empathy, adaptability, and have a continuous learning mindset, and the ability to connect with every student.

Every student has their own set of strengths and needs. Great teachers must have the ability to align with those strengths and needs.

Like students, teachers are constantly learning and growing. Keeping students involved in what they are learning is a big step. I also believe that teachers who involve the parents are important.

The “Oh I will drop my kid at school and forget about them” is not a great way that leads to a student succeeding. While I realize parents are very busy these days. Reaching out to parents in any way they can is important.

Students become successful when they know they have support from their parents and the schools.
