Would you know great teaching if you saw it?


Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:

  • There are really only 7 principles to great teaching. Anything else is simply your preference.
  • Great teaching is a little like porn. We think we’ll know it when we see it. But the truth is, most of us really don’t understand what it takes to help someone master teaching. 
  • A Master Teacher is simply someone who has mastered the principles of effective teaching. If you can get good at helping others master these 7 principles then it means you can help anyone become a master teacher.
  • When it comes down to it, being a Master Teacher is really a set of specific behaviors. If you can understand and practice these behaviors, you can be effective in the classroom.
  • If great teaching is a set of specific behaviors then it means that anyone can be trained to practice these behaviors. The problem is, most of us either don’t know what those behaviors are, or we don’t want to invest the time and energy it takes helping others practice those behaviors effectively.
