Get Your Students Hired
Know your past, know your school, know your students, know your subjects, colleagues, and YOURSELF!
It's all about the students! Teaching should be about learning - it's all about the students, not about a teacher showing off how intelligent he or she may be. Showing excitement for the material is going to help the students become passionate about it, too. By being a credible, candid, compassionate, committed, and clear teacher, we can model the soft skills necessary for success.
Overall, serving as a model, manager, and motivator, we can implement the 5 Cs listed above in order to create a meaningful learning environment for our students where they feel welcome, supported, and successful.
