# 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?

Now, teachers can incorporate tools into their lessons that allow materials to be accessed on smartphones, laptops and tablets.

One of the greatest benefits of technology integration in ed...

Cooperative learning

Hello everyone I hope you enjoy reading this :) On July 15, 1982, Don Bennett, a Seattle businessman, became the first amputee ever to climb Mount Rainier (reported in Kouzes and Posner 1987). He climbed 14,410 feet on one leg and two crutches. It took him five days. When asked to state the most important lesson he learned from doing the climb, Bennett said without hesitation, “You can't do it alone.” The lesson learned by Bennett is one that we should all take to heart. If classrooms and schools are to become places where people achieve worthy goals, they must become places where students, teachers, adminstrators, and other staff cooperate in pursuit of those goals. Such cooperation must be consciously implemented until it becomes a natural way of acting and interacting. And it must take place at all levels of schooling from the classroom to the school to the district. Cooperation in the Classroom In every classroom, no matter what the subject area, teachers can str...
