Top 6 Keys to Being a Successful Teacher
The most successful benefit from focusing on
teachers share some these important qualities.
common characteristics. Success in teaching, as in
Here are the top six keys most areas of life, depends
to being a successful almost entirely on your
teacher. Every teacher can attitude and your approach

become Most importantly, a sense of humor
disruptions. A will allow you to see the joy in life and
sense of humor make you a happier person as you
will also make progress through this sometimes
class more stressful career.
2. A Positive Attitude
A positive attitude is a great asset in life. You will be thrown
many curve balls in life and especially in the teaching
profession. A positive attitude will help you cope with these
in the best way. For example, you may find out the first day
of school that you are teaching Algebra 2 instead of Algebra
1. This would not be an ideal situation, but a teacher with
the right attitude would try to focus on getting through the
first day without negatively impacting the students.
3. High Expectations
An effective teacher must have high expectations. You
should strive to raise the bar for your students. If you
expect less effort you will receive less effort. You should
work on an attitude that says that you know students can
achieve to your level of expectations, thereby giving them a
sense of confidence too. This is not to say that you should
create unrealistic expectations. However, your expectations
will be one of the key factors in helping students learn and
achieve.
4. Consistency
In order to create a positive learning environment your
students should know what to expect from you each day.
You need to be consistent. This will create a safe learning
environment for the students and they will be more likely to
succeed. It is amazing that students can adapt to teachers
throughout the day that range from strict to easy. However,

5. they will dislike an environment in which the rules are
constantly changing.
5. Fairness
Many people confuse fairness and consistency. A consistent
teacher is the same person from day to day. A fair teacher
treats students equally in the same situation. For example,
students complain of unfairness when teachers treat one
gender or group of students differently. It would be terribly
unfair to go easier on the football players in a class than on
the cheerleaders. Students pick up on this so quickly, so be
careful of being labelled unfair.
6. Flexibility
One of the tenets of teaching should be that everything is in
a constant state of change. Interruptions and disruptions
are the norm and very few days are 'typical'. Therefore, a
flexible attitude is important not only for your stress level
but also for your students who expect you to be in charge
and take control of any situation.

ABuilding a relationship for success
Success in the classroom starts with the
relationship between the teacher and the
student. Some characterize it as a deep

6. bond born out of mutual respect. Others describe it as a
powerful conviction in the potential of every child to learn. Still
others refer to it as the ability to personally connect with
students or, more simply, the rapport teachers have with the
children in their classes. For outstanding teachers, building the
relationship with the children may require engaging their
families as well.
The winning teachers, by an overwhelming majority, believe
the relationship with their students is the foundation for
learning. Moreover, they believe forging a genuine bond with
students enables teachers to have a powerful impact on
students. Alliances with families strengthen the student-
teacher relationships, which then amplifies impact on student
learning. Five secrets capture the advice of the teachers.
Secret #1: Nurture an authentic relationship of
respect and caring.
Successful teachers demand respect from their students and
express respect and care for their students. These traits, when
combined, offer students a sense of place and security.
Without respect, kindness might be seen as weakness. An
insistence on respect, without an expression of care, might be
viewed as indifference. Together, this balanced relationship
allows teachers and students to work together toward a shared
goal of learning
Secret #2: Build a connection with students’ families.
Successful teachers attempt to build relationships with families
as a way to strengthen the support for each student’s
academic success. Calling home, sending regular newsletters,

7. and holding events at school were among the strategies
teachers used to engage and involve parents.
Secret #3: Hold students to high expectations.
Successful teachers have an inherent belief that their students
can and will learn. These educators see an incredible potential
in each of their students, regardless of where they are at the
beginning of the year. For these teachers, every student who
walks into their classroom on the first day of school is a
success waiting to happen.
Secret #4: Convey an unwavering belief in your
students' ability to achieve.
Successful teachers instill confidence in their students.
Teachers who genuinely believe every student will learn give
each of their students a compelling reason to believe in
himself or herself. Moreover, when these teachers tell students
they expect more, their students rise to the occasion
Secret #5: Celebrate progress but keep raising the
bar.
Successful teachers continually
challenge their students. For these
educators, learning never ends. By
constantly moving the goal forward,
even incrementally, they ensure their
students advance. Moreover, when these
teachers tell students they expect more,
their students rise to the occasion.

8. BCreating a Community for learning:
Successful teachers create
a community of learning and an environment for achievement.
These teachers establish a classroom that is safe for students,
both physically and academically. In these secure
surroundings, students are able to take the risks necessary for
success. Importantly, silence is not a characteristic of these
classrooms. In fact, these classrooms are buzzing and bustling
with activity.
The award winning teachers believe the atmosphere within the
classroom must start with the teacher. Three secrets capture
the general advice from the teachers.
Secret #6: Set clear guidelines for conduct in the
classroom.
Successful teachers establish ground rules for what behavior is
acceptable – and what is not – and enforce the rules of
behavior consistently from student to student and situation to
situation. These teachers earn a reputation for being tough but
fair.
Secret #7: Foster an atmosphere where it is safe to
take academic risks.
Successful teachers establish the classroom as a safe place to
explore ideas and solve problems without fear of ridicule from
their classmates. These educators encourage students to
encourage each other.

9. Secret #8: Make your classroom an engaging place.
Successful teachers create an atmosphere that makes learning
meaningful and memorable. These teachers have a love of
learning that they want to instill in their students. In this way
they invite students to engage in learning.
C Employing Techniques that Works:
Successful educators are the personification of an ideal
learner. They are self-motivated. The teachers provide
structured learning without being rigid. They are constantly
seeking new and better ways to achieve success. They are
relentless problem solvers. They take a realistic and practical
approach toward a long-term goal of learning - and the love
of it - for every student.
Although they taught very different students, the winning
teachers shared many common approaches and techniques.
Here are their secrets to success.
Secret #9: Know your subject matter
Successful teachers believe good pedagogy – the art and
science behind the profession – isn’t possible without a strong
knowledge of the content. They talk extensively about “how” to
teach but their conversations are based on the assumption
that teachers know their subject matter. I think the difference
between an effective teacher and a non-effective teacher is
knowing your standards, where to find them and what types of
questions you should pose to children. (Elementary School,
Math, High Performing Students)

10. Secret #10: Tailor instruction to meet the needs of
every student.
Successful teachers draw on a vast arsenal of instructional
strategies to ensure every student succeeds. For them, each
student's learning is a puzzle waiting to be solved. Their
challenge is to find the right technique to reach each student
and unlock the potential for motivation and learning. These
teachers treat their students equitably which mean they teach
them differently
Secret #11: Relate learning to real life.
Successful teachers intentionally connect what's learned in the
classroom with the world outside. Educators start with big
ideas, and then systematically link these concepts to the
curriculum through well-structured lessons. When students
understand the “big picture,” mastering the material becomes
meaningful and therefore important to them beyond the bell.
Secret #12: Orchestrate, don't control.
Successful teachers see themselves as
facilitators and mentors between the
content and the students. They encourage
students to work together as a team to
analyze problems, develop solutions and
share their thought processes. Successful
teachers encourage students to learn from
one another. These educators orchestrate the discussion
without controlling the conversation.

11. Secret #13: Get beyond the basics of who, what,
where and when.
Successful teachers challenge their students to answer the
tough questions of how and why. Their goal is to give students
the ability to think analytically and solve problems
independently. These teachers get students to develop a
thought process that students can use to teach themselves
independently in the future. In doing so, their students create
a self-perpetuating cycle of learning that lasts a lifetime
D Using Data to improve Instruction:
Effective teachers embrace assessment as a critical
instructional tool. These teachers collect and seamlessly
integrate data into their day-to-day teaching. The data helps
them decide what to teach and how to adapt instruction for
individuals and groups of students. It also gives teachers the
empirical evidence to evaluate themselves and determine what
is working - and what is not - so they can improve. A
perpetual cycle of teach-assess-teach-assess allows both
teachers and students to build on their strengths and
overcome their weaknesses
Secret #14: Use multiple methods throughout the
year to assess students' knowledge.
Successful teachers use various techniques, both formal and
informal, to assess student knowledge throughout the year.
Some use official test prep materials, while others do not. All,
though, assess regularly before, during and after instruction.
Based on their assessments they give student feedback that

12. tells them not only what they are doing right, but also areas
where they can improve
Secret #15: Share assessment data with students to
give them ownership over learning.
Successful teachers use assessments to give valuable feedback
that tells students what they are doing right as well as where
they need to improve. Having a clear understanding of their
strengths and weaknesses helps students focus their learning.
Secret #16: Adapt instruction based upon the results
of assessments.
Successful teachers use assessments, including their own
observations, to adapt their teaching to the needs of the
students. For them, the results of an assessment reveal who is
mastering the material as well as what teaching method is
working and what areas need more attention.
Secret #17: Prepare for formal testing, but focus on
learning for life.
Successful teachers focus on learning rather than testing. They
don’t prepare students for the test, they prepare them for life.
