#Tips #Educators #Tuopu #Education

Great teachers understand this:  the job must be done professionally, but learning is personal (which is the true basis for the principal of personalised learning). 

As a great teacher you need to engage:

1. The child, in order to connect learning so that it is meaningful

2. Other teachers, in order to understand the child’s school experience

3. The home and the parents/guardians, in order to support the child effectively

7. Be patient and transparent with the students – be honest and recognize their strengths, even where you fall short

8. Give second chances and opportunities for the students to address their mistakes – both pastorally and academically

9. Continue to learn, reflect on the impact of your teaching, and evaluate the school experience of the students
