What Really Makes a Teacher Great in 2025

Have you noticed that many of the new *teaching strategies* and *educational research* seems unhelpful? This video explains that the most successful teachers focus on things far more important than just following the latest *teaching strategy**, incorporating **teaching tips* to foster *student motivation* and deeper learning, rather than just following **evidence based practice**.

📖 Proverbs 14:15 reminds us:
“The inexperienced believe anything, but the sensible watch their steps.”

This isn’t about rejecting research—it’s about having the wisdom to prioritize what actually matters in real classrooms with real kids.
