# How to become a better teacher



In my opinion becoming a better teacher is not much different than becoming a better artist or farmer or architect or engineer.

 Most broadly, improvement in teaching can be reduced to a matter of prioritization, practice, reflection and refinement.If you do anything long enough, the theory goes, you improve. It’s hard to argue with that idea. You practice walking so that you can walk, drawing so that you can draw, and speaking a foreign language so that you can speak with someone that speaks a different language than your own. Each of these skills are different in the abilities they require, but all can be improved through practice.

What do you guys think? Do you also think that practice is the key? There is also another question for you guys,feel free to express your opinion :)

 -What are the qualities of a good teacher and why do you want to become teachers?
