Great teachers know that they are the variable in the classroom.  They expectations for themselves is what makes the biggest difference.  They realize that success starts with a focus on self! They understand that their own behavior is really the only variable they can control. By improving their performance it will most likely improve that of the students.

Expect more from yourself than you do from others.  I can only change my own behavior not the behavior of those around me.  Taking responsibility for your classroom and for your life is the only way to make change.  Success starts with a focus on self!!!

Teacher expectations are directly correlated to the expectation they hold for their self. Effective teachers hold themselves highly accountable. The who is the variable and that who is the educator. Pay attention to the elephant. Consider your own choices and responses. We then can make a difference and experience true empowerment to make that difference. Key Point: "Accepting responsibility is an essential difference between more effective and less effective employers, teachers, principals-even parents."   Great teachers assess their self, focus on their performance, and make it a point to improve with consistency.

The teacher is the one who sets the tone for the classroom.  How the teacher reacts to the positive and negative situations in the classroom determines what expectations the students will know is expected of them.  We need to also have these high expectations for ourselves as teachers.  We need to help instill the same level of excellence for ourselves as we expect from our students.  We determine if we are going to be a positive influence or negative influence for our students.

I believe that the teacher is the most important variable when is comes to, teacher expectations being set year to year.  However, once the teacher understands the students in her she must work to help her students reach or exceed those expectations.

The variable in terms of teacher expectations is how the teacher responds.  We should focus on that in which we can control, which is our own performances.  Instead of waiting for something else to change, look to ourselves for answers.  Take responsibility and feel empowered to make a difference.

The question is not what the variable is, but rather whom the variable is. The obvious answer, THE TEACHER.  Teachers must accept responsibility for success as well as for failures.  We must examine our own acceptance of responsibility and help others take responsibility for their classroom performance.  With so many things out of our control, we must focus on what we can control...our own performance!

Teachers are the number one variables in classrooms in terms of expectations.  They set the tone & provide the environments best suitable for their children.  If there are clear, direct expectations, there are no assumptions. Also, if teachers hold themselves in high regard, then they will do the same for their students.  If teachers give & show respect to their students, the students will reciprocate.

The variable in teacher expectations is "YOU." We mumble and grumble about why things happened. It is a lack of supplies, the principal, the students....the list goes on. Great teachers ask themselves what can I do to improve the situation. We need to set high expectations for students, but sometimes teachers have a double standard. If students are expected to behave in a certain manner, so should the teacher. This goes back to respect. Whitaker states in the book that the success in any profession starts with a focus on self. Remember, "It starts with us."
