THE GREAT TEACHER OR EDUCATOR, PIST 1:
In a series of posts, I would like to give you a picture of what a truly great educator is. Simply put a highly effective or great educator is much more than a disseminator of information – the role we most often associate with teaching In terms of an overarching concept, the teacher is the designer, implementer, and manager of an instructional system which enables the learner to acquire, demonstrate, and independently use the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors we want the student to learn. In simple terms, great teachers teach us how to learn on our own.
