This article contains the opinions of two award winning teachers. What each one says is different. I relate to what Peter Beidler says but I don't understand much what Sally Phillips says.
Beidler says that a teacher who models his teaching style on the characteristics valued by students will be a successful teacher. Here I wonder. Can someone "model" his style? Is the style not largely, if not fully, innate to a teacher? Perhaps if he rephrased what he said as "a teacher, whose teaching style is in sync with what students value, will be a successful teacher" I would be more comfortable.
