In teacher college a mentor once told me:
The best behavior control strategy is a dynamite lesson plan.
I have pondered that as a sort of beacon of truth in everything I do as a teacher. Being a dynamite teacher is my life ambition. After nearly 11 years, I am hopefully a bit closer.
In this series I present and analyze the features of a “dynamite” teacher. I wish to stress that I am not calling myself “dynamite,” though I think I do okay. Instead I am presenting the ideals that a teacher striving to be “dynamite” should aim at. Teaching is my job but it is more than that. I hope teachers, parents and students all tune in to find out what I have observed and tested are traits of the dynamite teacher.
