To be an effective and inspiring teacher you must connect with your students. You must observe them and ask questions to discover their temperament and what interests them and then build your lessons around that framework. Beyond this you need to apply knowledge of human development in all domains: physical, cognitive, social, and emotional, build on children's competence in such critical areas as language and literacy, mathematics and other disciplines, as well as in gross motor development, social skills, emotional understanding, and self-regulation, respect and value all learners and meet children where they are, as individuals and as a group, appreciate diversity in learning environments and various contexts for learning apply instructional techniques, assessment strategies, and resources to support learning, support each child in attaining challenging and achievable goals that contribute to his or her ongoing development.
