Handbook For Qualities Of Effective Teachers



Description
Explores how to implement a staff development, teacher education, or self-help program to improve the six research-based teacher qualities that are most apt to raise student achievement.

This writing endeavor is the result of many projects, studies, and prior under-
takings involving many individuals. Each of these people contributed in
meaningful ways to our understanding of what it means to be an effective
teacher. Through countless workshops, we have heard teachers, principals,
and superintendents ask:


What is an effective teacher?

▲ How do you help good teachers become even better?

▲ What tools and techniques are available to support and sustain qual-
ity teaching?

The Handbook for Qualities of Effective Teachers is our way of beginning to
address these complex and profoundly important questions.

We appreciate the support from individuals at ASCD, in particular, Scott
Willis, who recognized the value in the earlier work, Qualities of Effective
Teachers, and gave us the opportunity to expand upon it.

Colleagues such as Barbara Howard and Wendy McColskey of SERVE at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, offered invaluable support t hrough our collaborative research on effective teachers. In particular, a research study regarding National Board for Professional Teaching Standards offered us the opportunity to build on our previous work and to improve and field test some of the forms included in this book.
