What is a Master Teacher?
Master teachers are leaders who have mastered the appropriate methods necessary to provide a quality education to all students; inspiring and encouraging their students to achieve, offering support and guidance when needed, and building curricula that differentiates instruction to the benefit of all students. They are open-minded, creative, and dedicated to their students. Master teachers communicate and collaborate with other educators; sharing freely their resources, lessons, and ideas. They understand the importance of subject integration, various learning styles, and Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, using that knowledge effectively in their instruction and assessment strategies.
Master teachers understand curricular design, creating lesson plans and classroom environment that is conducive to real, authentic learning. They know how best to differentiate instruction, creating lessons and activities that are tailored to the particular strengths and needs of a specific set of students. They find new ways to engage their students; integrating technology and real-world application of knowledge as often as possible, challenging them while offering support and encouragement, and using best practices and effective strategies. They know when and how to assess their students (formally and informally), and use that information to adjust or modify their own instruction.
Master teachers respect and treat all students fairly, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, culture, religion, or family background. They ensure all students have the necessary tools to achieve high goals in the classroom and beyond. They are role-models, mentors, and leaders; not just in the classroom and school district, but within the community as well.
Master teachers are avid and lifelong learners who pursue further education, focusing on professional development and personal growth as an educator. They are knowledgeable about current issues in education, as well as the political and historical context surrounding the profession. Master teachers are teachers who have mastered the art of teaching; they are supreme educators with the utmost dedication to their students.
