What or who is a teacher for me?
For me, a teacher is someone who educates, assists and helps students to find a suitable career. The tasks of teachers are to prepare classes that are activating students to think and to prepare tasks that are problem orientated. Furthermore, they teach about social values and how to understand different concepts of life (different beliefs, traditions, cultures, etc.)
Our thoughts on this question on Pinup
10 Mindframes by John Hattie
I already knew about John Hattie, his meta-meta analyses and the concept of the effect size. However, the mindframe-set was new for me. Basically, all his 10 aspects are about the importance of dialogue and successful communication. Furthermore, it encourages the teacher to trust in oneself but also in their students and build good relationships. I think that teachers should always keep these aspects in mind because they are a good starting point and help them to establish a pleasant learning atmosphere.
