What is good teaching?

Saturday November 29, 2008
Great teaching doesn't just happen by accident. It requires dedication, a love of children, a love of learning, endless patience and enthusiasm just to name a few. Measure yourself against the top 10 list here to see how you measure up.

See also a top 10 list from Richard Leblanc at York University who hooked me on his first one that states 'it's about passion'. Think back to your most favorite teachers and you'll probably be able to say yes to many of the top 10 items listed on either of these lists.
