9. High Academic Expectations
An effective teacher must have high
expectations. You should strive to raise
the bar for your students. If you expect
less effort you will receive less effort.
Prepares instructional content that is
aligned with state or district standards,
that builds on students’ prior knowledge
and that provides for appropriate level of
challenge for all students.
Plans instruction to engage students in the
content.
10. A Positive Attitude
A positive attitude is a great asset in life.
You will be thrown many curve balls in
life and especially in the teaching
profession. A positive attitude will help
you cope with these in the best way.
A positive attitude should also be
extended professionally towards peers. A
willingness to work with others and
not close your door to your fellow
teachers are critically important
qualities.
11. Consistency and Fairness
Many students confuse fairness and consistency.
A consistent teacher is the same person from day
to day. A fair teacher treats students equally in the
same situation.
In order to create a positive learning
environment your students should know what to
expect from you each day. You need to be
consistent. This will create a safe learning
environment for the students and they will be
more likely to succeed.
However, they will dislike an environment in
which the rules are constantly changing.
12. Engaging Instruction
Student engagement
time on task
motivation
These concepts are critical to effective teaching. Applying these concepts,
getting students to participate, means that a teacher is constantly taking the pulse
of the class. This allows a teacher to note which students have the skills to
continue or which students need more support.
Implements appropriate instructional content for learning for all levels of
learners.
Leads students to construct meaning and apply new learning through the use of
a variety of differentiated and evidence-based learning strategies.
13. Flexibility and
Responsiveness
Flexibility and responsiveness” can refer
to the teacher’s skill in making
adjustments in a lesson in real time to
respond any changing conditions. Even
skilled veteran teachers will be in a
situation when that a lesson is not going
as planned, but they may seize on what is
going on and respond in what is known as
a "teachable moment." This quality mans
that a teacher will persist in attempts to
engage students in learning, even when
confronted with change.
14. Sense of Humor
Your sense of humor can relieve tense
classroom situations before they become
disruptions. A sense of humor will also
make class more enjoyable for your
students and possibly make students look
forward to attend and pay attention.
