According to the article, Five Habits of Highly Effective Teachers by Neil Bright (The School Administrator, October 2011), highly effective teachers exhibit the following habits:
- Take a wider view of student success: Outstanding teachers know the purpose of school isn't solely students' academic performance but also to do well in life. Linking curriculum and instruction to post-graduation demands and real-life experiences requires teachers to incorporate creative writing, research, oral presentations, and persuasive essays as well as other authentic but labor-intensive activities.
- Recognize instruction as a performance: Superior teachers employ several strategies to improve instructional delivery.
- Internalize personal accountability: The most effective educators internalize lofty performance standards for themselves. They focus on what they can always control-their own actions.
- Understand student motivation: Excellent teachers use instructional strategies that overcome such lethargy by focusing on learning's essential motivating factors of doability and importance.
- Continue to focus on instructional improvement: The best teachers have an insatiable appetite both for good student results and for their own learning.
