Effective schools focus on teacher-student achievements and maximization of learning time, encourage teachers’ professional development, and implement flexible learning and teaching programs. For example, teachers should encourage collaboration between students, support students’ original approaches and learning autonomy, motivate and create new knowledge. Teaching profession is based on constant improvement, which “demands a high level of energy and effort, requiring more talent and hard work than many other professions.”
(Ryan, 21) Motivating and safe learning environment is another important feature of effective school, which involves challenging atmosphere, fair discipline, and trust. As a teacher, I believe it is essential to develop personal strategies and approaches to contribute to discipline inside and outside the classroom.
A good school will help students see themselves in terms of their historical framing, familial legacy, social context, and global connectivity.
A good school wants all students ‘on grade level’
A good school has a great library and a librarian who loves students and who loves books and who wants the two to make meaningful connections.
A good school may have maker spaces and 3D printers and wonderful arts and humanities programs, but more importantly, these kinds of learning spaces are characterized by students and their ideas rather than the ‘programs’ and technology itself.
A good school is full of joy, curiosity, hope, knowledge, and constant change.
A good school admits when it has a problem rather than hiding or ‘reframing it as an opportunity.’ (Sometimes, too much growth mindset can be a bad thing.)
