To be an Excellent Teacher...

To be an excellent teacher, you must:

--Be willing to learn from your colleagues, your students, and YOURSELF.
--Be flexible. Lesson plans frequently need to be modified, meetings will need to be changed, and collaboration must happen.
-- Stay current with instructional strategies and technology integration methods. After all, if you don't, you are doing a disservice to the students.
--Be a team player. Noone knows it all.
--Communicate effectively with parents, students, and colleagues.
--Have passion for teaching, your subject area, and children.
--And, without a doubt...have a LIFE. Do things for yourself...enjoy time with loved ones.

I know that there are many more thoughts to add to this. I could probably go on forever!

Any thoughts? Please leave a comment ;)
