21st Century Learning and Teaching

How to be a good teacher? This is one of the most question teachers ask themselves very often. I think there is not one correct answer, but there several characteristics that succesful teachers share. I consider that reflection (that starts since you ask yourself "how to be a good teacher?") is key if you want to evolve into a better teacher every day, a transformational teacher. In this interesting article I found 6 important actions that good teachers do, the ones that  interested me the most are:

1. Constantly share your best practices--> Good teacher always give and receive feedback from their peers, this help them to learn different ways to deal with issues in the classroom.

2.Commit to classroom observations-->Good teachers know the benefits of observing their peers while they are teaching. They can learn what activities, strategies and skills to reply and what not to do.

3. Caring Beyond What You Teach--> Good teachers are aware of the fact that teaching is not only explaing academic content to students, it involves motivating and helping them when they need it. Teachers that go beyond just explaining content are the ones students respect and remember the most.
