Some great teachers are born, but most are self-made. And the way to make yourself a great teacher is to learn to think and act like one. In this updated second edition of this best-selling title, the author reaffirms that every teacher can become a master teacher. The secret is not a specific strategy or technique, nor it is endless hours of prep time. It's developing a master teacher mindset-rigorously applying seven principles to your teaching until they become your automatic response: Start where your students are; Know where your students are going; Expect to get your students there; Support your students along the way; Use feedback to help you and your students get better; Focus on quality rather than quantity; and Never work harder than your students.
