Teachers |
Is a good teacher born or made? Personally, I think the recipe for success is probably something like: Good teacher = a very little(born) + a lot(made). Certainly, I would have to say that if "made" doesn't come into the equation, then what is the point of teacher education colleges, professional development, reflection, reviews, trainings etc...?
How does one become a good teacher then? First, I believe that one must have passion and knowledge, both for the subjects you teach and for learning how to guide and challenge students.
