How to Be an Exceptional Teacher
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

Each lesson began by playing scales, then the piece I was learning with correction. Then I was to play the piece for Miss Vashti to "enjoy." Have you any idea how that made me feel? Miss Vashti sat back with her eyes closed and her hands folded and I gave her pleasure. I felt honored.

The classrooms of exceptional teachers also had ritual, daily and weekly. It was easier to keep quiet in Mrs. Wingler's class on Monday when we knew Tuesday was discussion day.

The Finger Down The Spine

The teachers had high standards which they made clear and then modeled. "Turn around, sit up straight, put your feet on the floor, look straight ahead, no talking unless you're called upon." That's the finger down the spine. That's how it's done, as you know if you follow FlyLady -- put on your lace-up shoes and shine your kitchen sink.

Why does this work? Because if you put on your lace-up shoes, you have run the finger down your spine, and if you shine your kitchen sink, you have taken action. You've done one thing and the rest is then manageable. Cleaning a house is, after all, just shining one sink, and then shining the next sink.

Mr. Pink, my high school English teacher, read a long list to us: "Your papers must be tidy. No ink smudges, no pencil smears, no wrinkles or crumples. The only excuses I will accept for late papers are ... "

And how do your write an English paper? Neatly, without crumpling your paper, with a nice pen. There. Manageable and under control. Treat the PAPER with respect. The finger down the spine. Put on those lace-up shoes and suddenly the project isn't totally overwhelming.

Beyond standards, the exceptional teachers talked about character and what's the right thing to do. Dr. Duda, my high school Latin teacher, discovered that kids had been making fun of one of the girls in the class.

Without the girl present, Dr. Duda spent 15 minutes one class pacing the front of the room giving us a lecture on how to treat people -- with dignity and respect. She was almost goose-stepping, emphasizing how displeased she was. She also told us how to treat someone with respect. It's always so nice to instruct along with your criticism, i.e., not this, but THIS.
