Philosophy of teaching

This week we continue to study on what makes a good teacher.  One of the basics for all teachers is to have a good philosophy of teaching.  This will help a person to remember the direction they want to take as a teacher.  One critical piece I have encountered is the partnership that needs to exist between students, teachers and parents.  Another important factor is that each student is a unique individual and should be treated with respect, in turn the student will respect the teacher.
