The best teachers devote themselves to children in the following ways:
- Thoughtful response.
- Engaging, new learning.
- Developing independence.
- Listening.
- Kind, targeted feedback.
- Positivity.
- Dignity.
- Care.
The best systems provide teachers with the support they need to do this job well.
To be a "best teacher" is a lifelong journey, a goal that is never fully attained, but one that is nurtured by caring, daily effort and learning.
