From Cassie Clearence

Rose's last paragraph "the most effective teachers will realize their thinking will transform" can sum up all of Joanna and Rose's other ideas in the fewest words. Effective teachers need to be prepared, organized, lead balanced lives, know the content area, be sensitive, and hold a sense of humor. When I wrote my effective teacher essay the three characteristics I focused on were excellent classroom management, superior lesson plans, and a kind demeanor. I feel both Rose and Joanna's posts gave more tangible examples of what an effective teacher looks like then I provided in my essay. This shows the experience they are earning through the hard work of student teaching!
