Students want to emulate their teacher, to be as educated and intelligent. Teachers that succeed challenge their students. . . Bloom's Taxonomy is an excellent model to follow when making assignments because you as a teacher are able to check yourself and make sure you are assigning both basic and high level thinking assignments. Furthermore, when explaining an assignment to a class, make sure it is detailed and explains exactly what you as a teacher want. A successful teacher must have the students' respect.
Planning is critical in teaching.
I realized that lesson development takes tons of time and effort. Good lessons and good teachers keep their class interested. I've also learned that organized teachers are the most effective ones. Being a teacher is not an easy job. Effective teachers need to be very committed to their work.
