All across America, if you ask them, people will tell you who they think the good teachers in their schools are. Usually they base their observations on their own experiences and those of their children. Often it turns out that people name the same teachers. What do teachers do to get this response? Probably the most important thing they do is help children so well that they develop a reputation for good teaching. Good teaching involves a lot of things: Knowing the subject mat- ter well and being able to explain it to students. Setting high gdals for students and helping them reach those goals; Being well organized and fair, g Asking good questions; Treating all students with thought-provokin- respect Another thing good teachers do is build bridges with parents. Parents like to hear from their childs The Boys Basketball team went to Panguitch on Monday evening. teachers. They are willing to do more to help their children at home than many teachers realize. Joyce Epstein, of John Hopkins University, has studied parents and teachers of 1300 students and found that Parents liked teachers who them gave suggestions for working with children on learning tasks. Good teachers gave such suggestions to all parents, not just to parents of successful students. Parents were willing to spend more time than they were asked to do on such activities. Epstein found that parents most appreciated parents who provided activities for parents and children to do together at home, such as: Reading aloud Signing homework.
