Master teacher. The idea is a bit of a misnomer. It sounds intimidating. It suggests a long, protracted process—maybe even an elite status. But that’s not what it is at all.
 
There are no years of required experience. No official credentials. Rather, it is far more aspirational, as it refers to a set of behaviors that distinguish the great teachers from the rest.
 
That’s good news because it means that everyone in higher education can start becoming a master teacher right away. You don’t have to wait until you’ve logged a certain number of hours in the classroom or taken a certain exam. You just need to have a willingness to improve and know a few proven techniques to try.
 

 

What’s even better is that while these strategies might be grounded in theory, they are actually quite accessible. And you can learn some easy, adaptable techniques to try in just 20 minutes in How Do Master Teachers Create a Positive Classroom?.
