Topic: Teacher Excellence
What makes a good teacher?
Key Points: This is a nice list of the qualities of successful teachers. Although test scores are not on the list, there has to be a place for them in some form. The fact is, without passing entrance exams, basic skills tests or doing well on college placement exams, none of us would have made it past High School…that is, as far as formal education goes. To not actually focus on preparing students to handle tests or acknowledge that this specific skill has some importance is a smidge naïve in my view.
Relevance: Discovering the qualities and techniques of successful teachers is key to success.
