<strong>Four</strong> <strong>Ways</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Becoming</strong><br />

a <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Teacher</strong>


• A pr<strong>of</strong>essional teaching qualification does not<br />

make a teacher pr<strong>of</strong>essional, in the true sense <strong>of</strong><br />

the word.<br />

• it's important to be organized. Create lesson plans,<br />

objectives, activities, and assessment plans well<br />

before each lesson day.<br />

• Use your students’ progress to guide your<br />

way. They should be steadily improving, but<br />
