The Skillful Teacher
Teaching is one of the most complex imaginable. Both s teachers oueselves and as students and researchers of teaching, we have been awed by the immensity of the task of understanding teaching. We know that a good teacher is many things, among them a caring person. But a good teacher is also a skillful practitioner, meaning adept at certain specifiable, observable actions.
Skillful teachers are made, not born. They have learned the skills use, and others can look at what they are doing in the classroom and say what is skillful about it. Some skillful teachers do not have vocabulary or the concept fo describing what they already do. They just "know" what to do and do it effortlessly and naturally intuitively, some might say. This effortlessness is an unconscious, automatic kind of knowing.
Skillful teachers are clear about what is to be learned, clear about what achievement means, and clear about what they are going to do to help students attain it. And if one thing doesn't work, they make another plan that is also technically clear and well thought out.
Finally, skillful teachers re learners always a student of teaching.
