Crowdsourcing Good Teaching: Current Students Reflect on Their Best
Putting the finishing touches on my first new post in too long. In the meantime, I am going to turn to some people who have a clear and personal knowledge of the things that effective teachers do to facilitate meaningful learning. I have been crowdsourcing feedback from long-ago former students in response questions about the traits of good teachers. Today I am going to ask current students to think back through their education history and the best teachers they have had - not the coolest teacher, or the nicest teacher, or the easiest teacher, but the ones who made the classroom a place for meaningful learning. No names, please, just descriptions of what it is the best teachers do.
