Developing an innovator's mindset

Gone are the days when recycling the same old information in the same old way did not matter......the 21st century requires creativity and critical thinking amongst other essential tools for teachers.

The children we are teaching now, need a set of different methods to catch and hold their attention.
To be outstanding, you need to develop an innovator's mindset.

Teacher Personalities and Lessons

Your personality affects the way you teach. Are you an extrovert? Have you reflected on how this affects your lesson? Does this connect you more with your students? Are your lessons fun because of this? Is the ability to manage behaviour affected by this?

Are you an introvert? Does this come across in your lessons? Does this mean your lessons are not vibrant?

Now there seems to be a third dimension to personalities - the ambivert.

How do you use the aspects of failure in your last lesson or aspects of failure in your performance during the last term/session, to plan future lessons?
Some people don't believe in reflecting, can these people improve on their practice to become outstanding?
Without failure can one attain an 'outstanding' level of performance?
