Remember for a moment that teacher across your educational spectrum, from elementary school to your highest level of education, who influenced your teaching attitudes through deliberate and critical examinations of your school work. As students, we often deplore the tendency to call upon these teachers for our mistakes, often defeating the purpose of their exams, which is to correct our mistakes. Even the most effective educators undergo constructive evaluations, not to corroborate their mistakes, but to highlight them and reapproach them in different ways until they are mastered. This is the true art of teaching, understanding that improvements and enhancements are always necessary for the effectiveness of your teaching. As a result, in my Education Overview course, my instructor, Professor Means, gave us the opportunity to amass a team of smart, creative people. colleagues so that we may be able to discover, ideate, investigate and interpret what an effective educator is and the many qualities he or she possesses from the heart. Through fruitful mutual collaboration, we have been able to paint a portrait of an effective educator. Collaboratively, we deduced that an effective teacher is not only one who instructs students effectively, but also one who is fair to all students and humble in all his actions inside and outside the classroom. An effective educator is also one who is goal-oriented, intrinsically motivated, and passionate about the students who emulate him. Individually, we used a supplementary resource, where we interviewed any teacher of our choice and integrated a wide range of concepts, and... halfway through the paper... teaching doesn't just "happen"; requires thoughtful development and practice (Ebert). To put it briefly, the art of teaching is an eternal learning cycle that continuously improves teachers' skills. Mistakes in the classroom must be corrected and overcome, not undermined or repeated incessantly. The last advocate ignored by our presentation was the views of teachers who embrace the criticism they receive from parents, students, administrators and spectators sent by the Board/Department of Education. Listening is a great quality, and by listening for assistance from people who want to see your success in the classroom you can be an effective educator. Reference Ebert, E. S., & Culyer, R. C.
