Characteristics and Behaviors of Facilitative Teachers What I know . . .
Paying attention to people shows we
care. Paying attention to details helps to
accomplish our goals faster and with
accuracy. The most effective people are
those who give their undivided attention
to the people, problems, opportunities,
and moments that come into their life

Being sincere, candid, or honest When

students look at the teacher, they see a
genuine reflection of that teacher's
personal identity. They also hear from
someone who speaks with candor and
integrity. Being true to oneself, the
teacher is a self-aware person who has
made a commitment to teaching.
 To teach all students according to
today's standards, teachers need to
understand subject matter deeply and
flexibly so they can help students create
useful cognitive maps, relate one idea to
another, and address misconceptions.
Teachers need to see how ideas
connect across fields and to everyday
life.

Teachers intentionally build and sustain

respectful relationships with students in
the classroom. Teachers who form
respectful relationships with students
are able to work collaboratively with
children and manage power dynamics in
ways that increase student participation,
engagement, and achievement.

They must be able to break down

complex ideas into simpler parts and

smaller steps to transmit to their

students.
