It's a question that has so many responses and most of them a straight forward but different depending on who you ask.
Today we interviewed teachers, NQTs, students and support staff and asked them all the same question. It is very interesting to hear the different responses. Words such as consistency and honesty were key throughout. Obviously, the most important responses we received were from the children and what was interesting is they preferred teachers to personalise the learning to suit their needs, hold no grudges, be approachable and be fair in their rewards and sanctions. I feel that it is a great experience to get the opinions of the children so you can best adapt your teaching to ensure they benefit from your lessons.
