In order to be an outstanding educator, I believe one needs to be attentive, respectful, flexible, and have a willingness to always be a student themselves.
An outstanding educator must always be attentive to what’s going on in his or her classroom, front to back and side to side. A healthy classroom environment should be safe, resourceful, and productive. Being aware of potential safety hazards is part being attentive. In a physical education setting, safety hazards arise all the time from walls, to polls, to mats, etc. Being able to spot these and/or move them before any activity is key. Outstanding educators also engage all students in each lesson, so they feel they are a part of the class.
Always being respectful of the students
