What Teachers Do Well

I am working on a post for Edutopia about what it means to be a great teacher, which led me to think about all the things that teachers are good at simply because they are teachers.

So what do teachers do well?

• Listen to others.
• Organize schedules, planners, agendas, lessons.
• Staying positive despite being tired
• Talking!
• Being mediators
• Creativity
• Improvise
• Debate

Mia MacMeekin created this amazing infographic that really illustrates what teachers do well:

There are so many things that teachers do well because at the core of teaching is a very humanistic mission, and that is to reach and improve the lives of every student through learning in our classrooms.
