Expert Teacher

Hattie - best three dimensions: Challenge, Deep Representation, Monitoring and Feedback

Five major dimensions:

• can identify essential representations of their subject (more integrated and deeper knowledge - more connections accross disciplines and to students - tailor presentation to where students are at - problem solving - oportunistic - good decisions on the run)
  
• can guide learning through classroom interactions (better feedback, more aware of classroom behaviour, more aware of facilities and student backgrounds)
  
• can monitor learning and provide feedback (feedback and teaching tailored to match situations, anticipate and prevent 'gotchas', automated - more for less effort, smarter not harder)
  
• can attend to affective attributes (respect for students, care and commitment, passionate, relationships vital, overcome affective issues because more aware of them)
  
• can influence student outcomes (aim for more than achievement - aim for motivation to mastery, desire students to get passionate, set appropriately challenging tasks and goals, engage rather than copy (move up the taxonomy with Bloom), improved surface learning and potential for deep learning.)

Other attributes:
Keeps order, Not boring, not strict, true to self, express genuine anger/emotions, not shout/rude, conscientious in marking, humerous, admit mistakes, enforce school rules, not over fussy, involve learners, concerned with attendance, know names, fair - treat as individuals

Maintaining order can require discipline - the expert teacher has a 'well-planned, individual model of discipline' - finding the right match between their values / educational philosophy and the range of discipline models from 'top down' to 'bottom up' (control v lasez-fair)
