How to Be an Effective Teacher The First Days of School By Drs. Harry K. Wong and Rosemary T.Wong
Characteristics of an Effective Teacher • Is a good classroom manager • Designs lessons to reach mastery • Has positive expectations that students will be successful “Each student comes to school with an unlit candle with the expectation for you to light it.” _Harry Wong
Characteristics of a Well-Managed Classroom • Students are deeply involved in their work. • Students know what is expected of them and are generally successful. • There is relatively little wasted time, confusion, or disruption. • The climate of the classroom is work-oriented but relaxed and pleasant.
Reasons Why Students Don’t Follow Procedures • Teacher has not thought out what happens in the classroom. • Students have not been trained to follow the procedures. • Teacher spends no time managing the classroom.
Memorable Quote • “Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.” -Thomas Huxley
