Qualities of Good Student
A Good
Student Partners with Teachers
A child’s
relationship with their teacher is fundamental to their success at school. Effective
students recognise that their teachers are their allies. The importance of this
relationship was borne out in the ground-breaking research of Professor John
Hattie.
We
tend to see this relationship as being completely in the hands of the teacher.
That isn’t the case. Effective learners contribute to the creation of this
strong relationship. They recognise their teachers as valuable resources whom
they need to work with, in partnership.
These
students are easy to recognise, they participate in class, they stay after
class and ask extra questions, and they make appointments with their teachers
to get help if they need it.
