Episode #15: Operation Dumbo
The gap between who we are and how we actually come across to our students needs to be as narrow as possible. In addition to being relationship-focused, effective teachers must possess high levels of self-awareness. They need to reflect, seek feedback, and accept coaching on a regular basis. Effective teachers come across as genuine because they ARE genuine. They are liked AND respected. Falling to achieve these things can make you come across like a Dumbo to your students, and in turn, impact the learning.
