Good Teaching and Different Ideas About Teaching
What constitutes good teaching? There are several things that I think constitute good teaching. One of them are organization and prioritization. Theses are 2 important factors. These can help with lesson planning as well as implementation of the lessons. Staying focused and encouraged are important as well. Teaching can be very frustrating and overwhelming. Therefore it is very important that we learn to encourage ourselves even in the midst of our troubles. A final trait that I think that constitutes good teaching is teaching from the heart. We all have unique ideas about teaching. I think that this is true because we are all unique individuals with unique giftings and ideas. We all have different things to offer to our unique body of students. Therefore, we all have unique ideas about what good teaching is.
Awesome blog and I agree with your points especially the one from the heart. I truly believe if we teach from the heart the stress will not be as magnified and the students will want to be in class and learn.
