An Effective Teacher is
a stand-in parent during the course of the school day and becomes a reproducible

a support parent to their students and often provides for them what they do not
obtain at home. The personal time and tutorials which contribute to academic

compassionate correction which keeps students on the correct path all are a
part of teacher quasi-parenting. As a role model, students obtain additional examples
of matured character that is worth emulating. They see the commitment of the
coaches to their athletes, how the band director works effortlessly to assist
with acquiring instruments and how the science teacher spends extra time to
prepare students for the science fair. Parenting and being a Role Model, This
is all a part of being an Effective Teacher.
A poignant article on the value of teachers being role models.
