What is it about great educators that leaves such an indelible impression? Curious, we asked our Facebook community and quickly accumulated more than 700 responses.⁠
⁠
Here are the six standout qualities that emerged:⁠
⁠
Safety and Inclusion: Kids don’t learn in a state of anxiety and fear. The very best teachers “establish a culture of safety and support in their classrooms,” writes Betty Ray.⁠
⁠
Passion: It runs in their blood—the word “passion” showed up 45 times in our responses—and the best teachers ignite a similar zeal for learning in their students.⁠
⁠
Patience: Calm amid classroom chaos, the best teachers give students the time and support they need to learn.⁠
⁠
High Standards: Patient, yes. But life-changing teachers also know when to be demanding, pushing kids to become “better students and better humans,” writes Ray.⁠
⁠
Belief: “The power of a teacher’s simple, unequivocal belief in a student is transforming”—and the best teachers see students’ potential when others don’t.⁠
⁠
Love: “Far and away the most impactful thing life-changing teachers do”—the word came up 187 (!) times in the responses—life-changing teachers love their students.⁠
