Hi Chanel: True, we lead by example. We give assignments and activities, and expect our students to be prepared - then we grade them. I wonder if students should grade teachers every class day? For instance, what if every day we were graded on the following characteristics? • Organized, prepared, approachable • Enthusiastic, courteous, respectful • Prepared, organized, ready for class • Created excitement and desire to learn • Able to answer all student questions • Made me feel good about learning the material • Today's lesson was meaningful and helpful • I feel I am more prepared for my eventual job • My instructor cares about my learning and successfulness Boy, I bet there'd be a lot of changes made if somehow every student completed a survey like this every day and the results were sent to our boss.
