About this book
7 Key Qualities of Effective Teachers: Encouragement for Christian Educators aims to encourage and inspire Christian teachers in their critically important role as transformative educators who motivate and encourage others to become the best people God created them to be. The book explores seven key qualities of an effective teacher: relationships, Christlikeness, empowerment, empathy, humility, affirmation, and teamwork. Each chapter contains a prayerful reflection, an encouraging and inspiring poem or idea, quotes and references to provide compelling biblical reasons to keep focusing on a relational God, and true stories of how Christian educators have encouraged others in both secular and Christian school environments. Seventy-two practical teaching strategies are spread throughout the book. Each chapter concludes with movers and shakers, two true examples of how God uses ordinary, imperfect, and fallible individuals to do his extraordinary global work.
