    1. What makes a teacher an expert teacher?

    Based on your experiences discuss critically


    the quality (ies) of an expert teacher?

    According to Professor John Loughran, the Dean of the Faculty of Education


    of Monash University, expert teachers are referring to those who are aware of what
    they are doing; they monitor and adjust their teaching behaviours to bring out the best
    in their students. Somehow, it also referring to that one teacher who did not only impact
    the students ideology and character, but also changed the way they looked at the
    subject and the way they scored.
    An expert teacher is way too different from an experienced teacher. Teaching
    is a dynamic process. The teacher caters all his students in the way they can
    understand the concept. Having spent more number of years in the school may not
    help in ensuring high quality teaching, but having the sensitivity to address teaching
    as a dynamic process from the cognitive point of view. Expert teachers know what they
    are doing and why because they carefully consider how to structure their teaching in
    ways that will have a positive influence on their students learning.
    For example, if a teacher asks a question and responds positively only to those
    answers that are correct, then students who are unsure or have different answers or
    want to ask a question in return will be less likely to speak up. The expert teacher
    knows how to ensure that students honestly speak up and say what they think so that
    the invitation to learning is open to everyone. The way an expert teacher reacts in such
    a situation may not be immediately noticeable. This necessity for subtlety is perhaps
    one reason why expertise in teaching is not so well recognized or understood by those
    unfamiliar with the real demands of the role.
    An Appalachian State University professors descriptive case study reveals six
    central tendencies among teachers considered experts in their field which are
    possessing confidence in themselves and their profession, viewing their classrooms
    as communities of learners, where ownership and responsibility are shared among
    teacher and students, developing personal and working relationships with students to
    maximize student learning, demonstrating a student-centred approach to instruction,
    making contributions to their school communities through leadership, service and
    support to new teachers, and showing they are masters of their content areas.
    Expertise in teaching involves much more than the simple accumulation of
    technical skills and tips and tricks about how teaching is done. Although technical
    competence is an important base from which expertise in teaching grows, it is
    important to recognise that teaching is an educative process and it cannot simply be
    measured against a list of competencies. Recognising expert teachers matters,
    highlighting that expertise is crucial, and rewarding it is central to better understanding
    and valuing the profession.
