In this view, the teacher must have high expectations for the work of the students. These clearly high expectations can be seen in the teachers’ own words, but more important, I would argue that it is demonstrated by the challenging (requiring deep thinking) tasks that these teachers presented to their students. To be successful students in each of the classes in the book, a student had to work and put in effort. Passivity did not appear to be acceptable in any of these

They take the time to know their students and know them well. They appreciate what attributes to each child’s story and take ownership of their role in the child’s life for that school year. I feel that I have the skills and attributes of an outstanding teacher because of the pride I take in the love and support I show my students and families. I know teachers have the power to make a lasting difference and I start every year with that mindset.
