How to be a good teacher?

We need to start teaching to discover if we are good teachers or not, because it is the way to gain experience. Once we had experienced some lessons, we have to ask questions like "Am I doing it right?"(real experiences).

• Brainstorm the qualities that teachers should have to be a good teacher.

- Motivation

-Empathy

-Creativity

-Friendliness

-Optimistic

TASK: Design a teaching quality framework

Quality indicators

-Content knowledge

-Creativity

-Social skills

-Quality is measured by assessment: we can measure the results by observation (not only taking into account the results).

- External examiner

-Headteacher judgements

-Your own reports: when you are a teacher (write a report, diary, memo...) to express something. You can learn a lot of people if you read what they have written.
