11 Habits of an Effective Teacher

1. Enjoys Teaching (have fun and feel the joy!)
2. Makes a Difference (make them feel special, safe and secure)
3. Spreads Positivity (bring positive energy and a smile)
4. Gets Personal (it is all about relationships)
5. Gives 100% (do your job for the love of teaching)
6. Stays Organized (stay on top of marking and planning)
7. Is Open-Minded (embrace constructive criticism)
8. Has Standards (only expect a lot, if you give a lot)
9. Finds Inspiration (make connections)
10. Embrace Change (be flexible, hit every curve ball that comes your way)
11. Creates Reflection (what could you do differently next time?)

There is always something positive to be found in every situation but it is up to you to find it. Keep your head up and teach happily for the love of education. Don't just stand in the field of teaching, adapt these habits and be outstanding. Just do it!
