Abstract | This article presents prominent educators who describe the most important quality of an effective teacher. Sonia Nieto, professor at Emerita, Language, Literacy, and Culture University of Massachusetts, argues that in this age of hubris and shameless self-promotion, humility is an essential quality for teachers to have. Joseph Semadeni, fifth grade teacher in Wyoming, contends that teachers who pique students' curiosity about a topic, provide them with the cognitive tools necessary to learn, and then engage them throughout the learning process are priceless. Johanna Mustacchi, media literacy teacher in New York, asserts that the most important quality of an effective teacher is having the courage and ability to teach students to process what they have learned. Pete Hall, elementary school principal from Washington, points out that an effective teacher needs to be thoughtful and intentional about implementing the correct strategies at the precise moments. Teachers need to gauge and strengthen their ability to reflect on their teaching by establishing self-reflective habits in the classroom. Deirdra Grode, codirector/principal K-8 in New Jersey, states that the most important quality that an effective teacher possesses is the desire to continually evolve as an educator to meet students' changing needs. Terrence Clark, superintendent in New York, posits that designing good questions is key to success in any lesson format. Renee Moore, national board certified teacher in Mississippi, argues that teachers can't be effective if they exhibit only one or some of the characteristics of an effective teacher--they need them all. Lastly, Linda Nathan, school headmaster in Massachusetts, posits that effective teachers possess two interconnected qualities: (1) flexibility; and (2) strength. (ERIC). |
