How to Be a Better Teacher (It’s Not What You Think)

Описание: How can I be a better teacher?

Most of us look for new strategies, better classroom management, or the next “10-step” teaching method — but what if becoming a better teacher isn’t mainly about technique?

In this video, we explore a powerful idea from Parker Palmer (The Courage to Teach):
“Technique is what teachers use until the real teacher arrives.”

You’ll hear a perspective shift that may change how you think about teaching, growth, and presence in the classroom — plus simple practices you can start right away, including:

• Reflection and journaling prompts for teachers
• A daily 5-minute practice of contemplative silence before school
• Gratitude practices that sustain you through exhaustion and burnout
• Building a “circle of trust” with other teachers for support and renewal

This week, try this: spend 5 minutes before each school day in silence and notice what changes in your teaching presence.
