Back To School....Over 30 Ways To Become An Outstanding Teacher

Outstanding teachers are made: they are made by their environment, they are made by their opportunities, they are made by their decisions; they are made by their attitude; they are made by effort.

There are many things you can do to become an outstanding teacher. So, here is a collection of over thirty things you can do to become an outstanding teacher, things that have worked time and time again in my schools, tried and trusted ideas that can help you become outstanding and encourage, by example, others to be so.

In this collection, I have drawn from various sources over time and around the world such as my colleagues and my own experiences, as a student, a teacher, teacher trainer, a manager, a governor. I also draw on experiences and insights from teacher training course leaders, faculty leaders, head-teachers, school governors, government officials, inspectors, parents, and students.
