Teacher as Model: Self-Inventory
1. Do I warmly greet each student?
2. Do I seek other opportunities to connect with
each student?
3. Am I well-prepared for class? On time?
4. Do I model patience and courtesy, even
under stress?

work?
159. Each day ask
yourself: “If my
student had only my
behavior to watch,
what example would
he catch?”

job cause you to forget that
each one of your students is a
feeling- thinking human being.
For education to be effective, it
must be personal.
- George Isaac Brown

nature is the desire to be
important.
