Thoughts to chew on during LUNCH 5 Things Every Teacher Needs to Know [or do] to be Successful: Simplicity is underrated. A simple idea well-implemented is an incredibly powerful thing. You know your classroom best. Always keep in mind that what’s good is what works in your classroom. Excellent teaching is hard work. Excellent teachers continually strive to learn and to master their craft. No matter how good a teacher is, it’s always possible to be better. Every teacher must be a reading teacher. Reading is the skill our students need. Teaching is the most important job in the world. And it’s also the most difficult. From “Teach Like a Champion” Doug Lemov
