As an educator, there should always be high expectations for your students. It's important to never give up on a student, and to always encourage him or her to do his or her best. An effective educator should always have clear, concrete classroom rules with consequences when they're broken as well as written out objectives for each lesson. This allows for better time management in the classroom and shows the students what is to be expected for the day's lesson. An effective teacher should always be prepared, organized, engaging, and enthusiastic. The students can only benefit from an organized classroom with a positive and engaging teacher that is willing to teach them to the best of his or her ability.
I believe an effective teacher should also be able to form a strong bond with the students. Being able to have a student open up to a teacher with anything from the topic of classwork, or to something personal in his or her own life, is extremely important. Students should be able to trust their teacher, and want to see that their teacher is dedicated to the school and to the class. Effective teachers should also be willing to communicate with their students' parents as much as possible as well. It's always important to keep both the children and their families involved for a more well-rounded, wholesome classroom experience.
