TEACHER AS LEADER
We make several significant assumptions that form the foundation of our work in developing powerful educators.
- Great teachers are teachers that engage students in the learning process.
- The process of fostering and developing better teachers does not occur overnight; it is a gradual process.
- Exceptional teaching performance is directly tied to the individual's ability to be self-aware.
- Exceptional teaching performance is a profession with its own set of skills, ethics, and body of knowledge.
- Effective teacher development requires practice, experimentation, and guidance.
- Great educators are not born, they are developed.
Without a doubt, we believe the most empowering developmental processes are those that increase the educator's knowledge of who s/he is. This training, therefore, focuses on the training of the mind and emotions, and the professional skills and techniques needed to effect desired change in such a way that teaching becomes the joyful and rewarding experience for which it was intended.
