Super Teachers are different. You'll know one when you meet one. Their Agile Mindset, dedication to relationships and Believing Eyes usually set them apart.
A 'super teacher' is not the same as a 'good' teacher. Good teachers historically are those who can deliver the curriculum well and manage the behaviour of their learners. The attributes of a Super Teacher have a far greater impact.
Super Teachers begin and end with relationships. They live by the mantra- 'No significant learning can occur without a significant relationship'. They recognise the power of connection and intentionally harness it, daily. Super Teachers connect to their learners' hearts and minds.
Super Teachers are agile in their thinking and action. They are curious, they inquire, they pivot responsively to the learners in front of them. A Super Teacher hooks learners in and develops long-lasting understandings and skills.
Championing is a core skill of a Super Teacher. They work with unrelenting conviction to bring out the Hidden Potential in every learner. A Super Teacher insists that learners become the best they can be. They often have a life-altering impact.
Every learner deserves a Super Teacher.
