Linton, Dale. “Ineffective Teachers: A View from the Desk.” Christian School Education 17, no. 1 (2013): 10-12.
Abstract: I have a saying: “Good teaching is good teaching is good teaching.” Essentially, this means that it is rather easy to identify a good teacher from an ineffective one. Effective teachers seamlessly blend together positive personality traits, content knowledge, and pedagogical skillfulness coupled with an in-depth understanding of their students and their learning needs. This entire package is evidenced in the consistent performance of the teachers and the learning achievement of their students. Conversely, ineffective teachers struggle on multiple fronts, typically with glaring deficiencies.
