    Expert teachers know:

    How to prioritize and accomplish paperwork
    How to read a child to know if they are understanding or not
    Know how to talk to parents about difficult topics and have the parents remain calm. even if they disagree or are not ready to hear what the teacher is saying
    Are confident in speaking to the Principal and others to advocate for children and have the facts and documentation in order to back it up to ensure success ( getting what they set out to get for the child)
    Know when to backoff on a child and give them time, or come up with many other different ways to help that child learn
    How to get parents to work with them to help their children meet with success
    Novice Teachers:
    Have the hope, energy and enthusiasm to move mountains and change childrens' lives- and that is what it takes to eventually become an expert teacher- years of self evaluation, hard work, and persistence with the knowledge that every child really does count and that we do make a difference.
