Qualities of Effective Teachers

 

Objective: After reviewing effective educators’ qualities, the learner will self-reflect to assess their strengths and weaknesses for personal growth.

Now that you have stepped through some foundational strategies that will play a key role in lesson the planning and delivery process, let’s take some time to reflect on effective teachers’ characteristics, as identified in the research.

In the next course, Instructional Design and Planning, you will step through a process to create a thorough lesson plan. Take a few minutes to reflect on what the research says about effective teachers and instruction.
