The Makings of an Effective Teacher

By Kim Zeydel, 2015 Idaho Teacher of the Year

 

People often wonder what makes one teacher effective and another teacher not as effective. Here are some examples of an effective teacher:

• Passionate about the subject they teach

• Compassionate toward their students

• Listens to what the students are saying and/or asking

• Flexible

• Develops relationships with their students, parents, fellow teachers and administrators

• Organized

• Able to have a sense of humor

• Creative
