What does it mean to be a great teacher? In the second part of this article, Matt Bromley continues his focus on the traits and skills of ‘master teachers’

Great teachers create opportunities to increase purposeful peer interaction, help establish and consolidate new norms of teachers working together, and build respect for each other. Great teachers pull or draw people in with the energy and excitement of their own committed practice and also push and nudge colleagues forwards with their relentless commitment to being better and doing better for all their students. Therefore, great teachers have to trust processes of peer interaction as well as particular people. These processes are ones that maximise their organisation’s collective capabilities and improve its problem-solving capacities.

Focusing on the fundamental question: we need to review our approach to education  and update it and quit insisting that it's all about involving technology in the teaching -learning process.

technology moves teachers into 21st century?

My suggestion: Use the knowledge of artists, musicians, busiess design - co-creation - in order to create new methods. Involve children and students as much as you can, and do it in a playful way. Now you're creating!

Why are some people so much better at expressing empathy than others?

Psychologists define empathy as sensitivity to the emotions, both positive and negative, of other people. You can feel empathic—or empathetic (the two words are used interchangeably)—to someone who is feeling positive feelings, such as amusement or joy, in addition to someone who is feeling sadness or anger. “Empathy is being in the heart of another person,” says Susan Kuczmarski, a cultural anthropologist and adjunct faculty member in the executive education program at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

Researchers have determined that people react in one of two ways when faced with another person’s emotions. Sometimes people respond with “empathic concern” or caregiving. They see themselves as a source of comfort or support for the other person.

But sometimes people feel threatened by the other person’s emotions and focus instead on themselves. They might try to help, to minimize their own discomfort. Typically they distance themselves. Psychologists call this response “empathic distress.”

Quality teaching can be an elusive topic because of the broad definition of what can make teaching a high quality effort. These are some solid areas to focus on to improve your quality of teaching. How many have you implemented?

I like the list but would prefer that Content not be the first thing to show up.  There are a great many people who know content, but could not teach their way out of a paper bag. 

I certainly have to agree but could I add more? The only addition I think I would make would be having learners as the centre of all of the above. ;)

Providing high-quality professional development for teachers may be the most important thing schools can do to improve students learning.
