Teachers are expected to uphold the following standards of good teaching:

  • Good teachers state clearly what they expect of their classes and then proceed to make them do it.
  • Be prompt.
  • Be consistent.
  • Be fair. Admit your errors. Never play favorites. Give each student a chance to participate according to his abilities.

  • Be firm.
  • Be considerate. Be sure every student experiences some success every day and be sure you praise him or her for it.

  • Be courteous. Set a good example and expect every student to follow that example.
