Top notch teachers

Teachers that are not afraid of innovation tend to try new things that lead to greater student engagement. I enjoy working with these teachers as there is a different energy in their classrooms that the students relate to. It is important as an administrator to give these teachers what they need and then quickly get out of their way. Some teachers are resistant and dismissive to these new teachers, but if we are always talking about the new successes happening in the building, maybe the resistant ones will start to take notice and ask questions. Some of the best teaching strategies that I have ever used were stolen from one of the effective teachers that I have worked with.
