What Does it Mean to Teach Brilliantly?

Jenning Prevatte, M. Ed.

As an Associate Professor of education, today's teaching is not just about standards and the content you teach; it is much more. As an education professional, you inspire others, engage in courageous conversations, and support students through difficult life experiences with compassion and understanding.  Teaching takes as much heart as a skill to be a brilliant teacher. 

The future of education must include teachers who teach with compassion, teach from a strength-based perspective, and engage in equity-mindedness. Building inclusive, collaborative learning environments with students, families, and communities is critical for future generations.
