Discussion: What Makes a Teacher Great?

As I begin my journey to becoming an elementary teacher, I’ve been thinking a lot about what truly makes a teacher great. We all have different experiences in school, and I’m sure many of us can remember a teacher who made a lasting impact on our lives. Now I’d love to hear from you! Discussion Questions: What qualities do you think make a great teacher? Can you share a memory of a teacher who inspired you? What did they do that stood out?
