12 Rules Of Great Teaching -

12 Rules Of Great Teaching - | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Recently, I’ve been thinking of the universal truths in teaching. Students should be first. Don’t always start planning with a standard. Questions matter more than answers."

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you were to put together 12 rules that make a teacher a great teacher what would they include? Sit back and think about that, and then look at this post by Terry Heick, where he shares the rules he has come up with as well as the reasons for the rule. A few are listed above, and three more are below.

* Start small.

* In learning, curiosity is everything.

* Help students ask great questions.

Click through to the post to read through all his rules and find a bonus of three additional rules that you may want to add. You will also find links for resources for three of the rules.

Beth Dichter's insight:

What makes a great teacher? This post explores this question providing some insightful ideas from a variety of writings as well as two additional images that you may want to print out and share with teachers in your school.

Below are some questions you may want to consider.

* Should students be supported in risk taking, know that the end product may not be successful?

* As teachers should be be driving the train, or allowing students to share the role as conductor?
