I believe in a pretty simple set of things make a good teacher. If you’re honest with yourself and your kids above all else, you’re at least starting off right. Here are a few deeper details which drive my practice:
- Do what you teach
- Be what you expect your students to be
- Treat all views with discretion and respect
- Inquiry is key to a teacher’s heart
- Be objective before emotional
- Learning is organic, anything synthetic will fade and crumble
- Reflect on practice, then share with someone you trust
- Trust as many people as possible
