Love To Teach?

 

 

In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have."

-Lee Iacocca

 

The best teachers have several things in common, Davis and Tollefson note in the preface to their book: "What Good Teachers Say About Teaching,"

1. They organize and explain material in ways appropriate to their students' abilities;

2. They develop a rapport with students and create an environment conducive to learning;

3. They show their concern that students really master the material;

4. They help students become independent learners; and

5. They reflect on and continually evaluate their own teaching."
