What made those teachers special? What qualities and skills did they have to ignite student learning? Most important, how did those teachers help their students become successful?
In Qualities of Effective Teachers, 2nd edition, James H. Stronge shows educators how to recreate this same excitement and enthusiasm in their own classrooms by describing the characteristics and skills of effective teachers.
