What do we think makes a great teacher?

We had to write definitions of what makes a great teacher.

Here are our definitions.

Tina

Great teachers spend time building

relationships with students and making connections to their lives.

Great teachers find different ways to engage students and create

motivating learning opportunities.

Vanessa

Great teachers celebrate and nurture the unique abilities of all students. The best teachers recognise that they are learners - they must constantly reflect, change, take risks and grow.
