We as educators need the same skills as teachers, including deep content knowledge; different models of instructional strategies and assessment practices. Learning and development of children and adults and clinical and supervision skills, the ability to model effective instructional and assessment practices, the ability and disposition to coach and support teachers and hold planned or informal meetings with teachers is crucial and the ability to support teachers through observations is also key.
