I really enjoyed the podcast. I think there need to be some accountability assessment program just so we can find the problem teachers and then try to help them become better. But that's only the dream, if only it could happen... Great post! I really enjoyed the podcast.

I believe that a teacher can be creative in the implementation of this practice and students would be willing to learn if the design is clear and follows a set pattern.

Teachers must be creative and help the student overcome the word " I can not" and set high standards and expectations of all their students and provide them resources, encouragement, and guidance to succeed regardless of their own fears.

That in itself was wonderful because you already know one thing for sure- you created a moment for them that raised their curiosity.

It's not what you teach or how you teach it that makes you a teacher, it's what the kids become of it. If you teach first grade you will understand what I mean. The children come in the beginning of school babies, knowing very little, and sometimes nothing. You ask yourself "how am I going to make it?" As December rolls by, some of them are right where you want them and some are still lagging behind, so you kind of step up your game. By the end of the year you can see that you have made a difference. They have grown from babies to children that are ready for the second grade. YOu have helped them go through the journey of first grade. That to me is making a difference in their lifes and when you do, that's what makes you a great teacher. When you can look back and be proud of not only your children, but yourself, that's what makes you a great teacher.

An effective teacher is one who wants to be in the classroom. There is also a skill for it as well. Teachers must be able to teach students and have the students learn. Effective teachers must have a love for learning. They must learn new strategies and techniques as well as participate in professional learning communities. Effective teachers are what makes schools fun and exciting for students. I do agree with you that there are many teachers who are not as committed as they should be. It is a large issue in education.
