A few points that were mentioned in the chapter by Stronge mentioned:
- Effective teachers spend a great deal of time working and interacting directly with the students.
- Teachers' enthusiasm for learning and for thier subjecvt matter is an important factor in student motivation that, in turn, is closely linked with student achievement.
- Effective teachers set high expectations for themselves and thier students with an orientation toward growth and improvement evident in the classroom.
- Teachers in schools with high achievement rates pre-assess in order to do targeted teaching.
- Effective teachers know and understand thier students in terms of abilities, achievement, learning preferences, and needs.
The reason I wanted to point out the ideas of what makes an effective teacher is because in my experience I have been able to see the benefit and the truth of them and even the harm that is done when a teacher doesn't follow them. I also wanted to mentioned them because I feel like that these points and the other points that I was able to read would work for every student.
The idea and quote I got from the book is on the end of page 91 that I will like to have for my motto as a teacher. It states, "If we allow ourselves to fall in love with what we do, we will be reborn countless times, almost always in a form stronger and more fully human than the one that preceded it." I like this quote because as a teacher and in order to be a good teacher I need to change atleast every year for each classroom and for each student because that is what a good differentiating teacher would be.
