This text, excerpts from Robyn R. Jackson's book, explores the idea that master teaching is not an innate gift but a result of a specific mindset and intentional practices. The author shares her journey from believing in a mysterious "gift" to understanding that effective educators focus on principles rather than just strategies, continually reflect on their practice, and prioritize student learning over their own efforts. The book outlines key principles such as starting where students are, setting high expectations, providing consistent support, using feedback effectively, emphasizing quality over quantity in assignments, and empowering students to take ownership of their learning. Ultimately, the text argues that anyone can become a master teacher by cultivating the right mindset and diligently applying these fundamental principles in their classrooms.
