[quote=Anonymous]I completed an M.Ed over a decade ago. It did not make me a good teacher. Honing my people skills made me a better teacher. Working on personal boundaries and translating that into my work with students made me a better teacher. Working with administrators who shared and upheld my values (physical and psychological safety in the classroom, fairness) helped me to be a better teacher. Having years and years to observe kids and see their common misconceptions and stumbling blocks helped me to be a better teacher. Working to become the most patient person I could stand to be helped me become a better teacher. I have no idea how you teach these soft skills. I wish we gave more teachers reasonable pay and reasonable schedules so that they could afford to take care of themselves better and grow into the role over time. [/quote]
