The Four Beliefs of an Effective Teacher:

• It is the teacher who makes the difference

in the classroom.
• By far the most important factor in school
learning is the ability of the teacher.

about teaching that must be known by the
teacher.
• The teacher must be a decision maker able
to translate the body of knowledge about
teaching into increased student learning.
