2023 Workshop Talk | 1:04:48 | All Grade Levels, General Classroom
Summary
Teaching is an incredibly complex human act in which the best of the profession marshal their knowledge, skill, experience, personality, and character to educate their students. But truisms such as this are often unhelpful to new teachers who have yet to become the classroom masters they often long to be. New educators (and those who train, mentor, and evaluate them) need specific expectations for good teaching that are concrete enough that these neophytes can understand them and move toward them.
