=What makes a Master Teacher= =Full text at []=

The term “master teacher” seems to get thrown around a lot, but is something that many educators aspire to be. In my ten years in the field of education, I would say that the definition of “master teacher” has definitely changed. When I think of a master teacher, here are the qualities that I would say makes someone a master teacher:
 * 1. Connects with kids first **
 * 2. Teaches kids first and curriculum second **
 * 3. Ensures that they draw relevance to curriculum **
 * 4. Works with students to develop a love of learning **
 * 5. Embodies lifelong learning **
 * 6. Focuses on learning goals as opposed to learning goals **
 * 7. Ensures that “character education” is an essential part of learning **
 * 8. Passionate about the content they teach **
