Teaching to the Whole Student

Being an educator is more than teaching students content knowledge skills. To be a master teacher, educators must be able to reach the student as a whole. This includes having positive relationships with students, utilizing assessment data and being able to deliver effective content instruction. Throughout student teaching I observed, studied and practiced strategies used by master teachers in an elementary setting. I completed my student teaching in a fourth grade classroom but observed in grades around the building. This presentation describes the practices I believe are used by effective teachers that are the most impactful on their students.
