Good educators all differ - JSOnline:
"Some of the most valuable skills of an education professional are never learned in a class or seminar. Some of the most effective actions have nothing to do with academic skills, grades or anything that can be measured. They're just things you do because you understand what works, how kids think, what can turn a mess into something good. Because you've got the knack for running a classroom or a school well. Because you really can be a role model.
I've seen some really good principals in the last decade or so as I've visited a lot of schools in the Milwaukee area. I'm struck by how much they didn't have in common."
